One thing to make me smile: the singing of "Show Me the Way to Go Home."

Reminded me too much of "The Coup" by John Updike, read earlier this year.

Pretty good. Flory is sad and misunderstood, a rare non-racist in an empire that thinks "after all, natives were natives—interesting, no doubt, but finally...an inferior people"
