In this semi-autobiogrphical novel, written in 1933, the author describes living a life of poverty in two of the world's most famous cities.

What is the name of the book?

Hi dance girl!

it's Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell.

As an additional piece of trivia the café where Georde Orwell worked in Paris is only a few metres away from a house Hemingway lived in when he took up residence here in the 1920s. And as an additional additional piece of trivia - No, I'll make it a question. Which British Prime Minister is buried in the same cemetery as George Orwell?

Well done Colin,
"Down and Out in Paris and London" is the right answer. Here is a link to Wikipedia

Herbert Asquith is the British Prime Minister, who is also buried in All Saints' Churchyard, Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire.

Yes, that's the answer. I used to live near there, and when I went and looked at Asquith's tombstone, I saw that, oddly, it reads "H.H. Asquith, Prime Minister of England". Hmmm.

Perhaps the epitaph was written by Lloyd George, a Welshman ( I know he was born in Manchester, but you get my drift)
