About this product
Product Information
From the author of Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight a powerful and sometimes painful account of an intense relationship - between a writer, her words, and those she chooses to write about. When Alexandra Bo Fuller was in Zambia a few years ago visiting her parents, she asked her father about a nearby banana farmer who was known as being a tough bugger . Her father's response was a warning to steer clear of him: Curiosity scibbled the cat, he told her. Nonetheless, Fuller began her strange friendhip with the man she calls K, a white African and veteran of the Rhodesian War. A man of contradictions, K is battle-scarred and work-weathered, a born-again Christian and given to weeping for the failure of his romantic life and the burden of his memories. Driven by K's these memories of the war, they decide to enter the heart of darkness in the most literal way, by travelling from Zambia through Zimbabwe and Mozambique to visit the scenes of the war and to meet other veterans. The result is a remarkably unbiased and unsentimental glimpse of life in Africa.Product Identifiers

One of my very favourite reads
This book, I read a few years ago. Passed it on but played on my mind. I just had to read it again. It is all & more that you could imagine about living & travelling through Africa. It is a book that describes Africa beautifully & ,harshly. A book that I will keep & return to again & again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
