Baboo Jabberjee, B.A.

Baboo Jabberjee, B.A.

by F. Anstey

Baboo Jabberjee, B.A. is a humorous novel that follows the adventures of a well-educated Indian man, Baboo Jabberjee, as he navigates the social and cultural complexities of London. The story satirizes English society and the misunderstandings that arise from cultural differences. Baboo's impeccable English, which is often too perfect and formal, highlights the absurdity of how the English perceive foreigners. The novel uses wit and irony to explore themes of identity, adaptation, and the challenges of understanding a different culture.
