description: 'A provocative novel about a disillusioned writer who travels to Africa to research a screenplay. Cartwright tellingly contrasts the supposed savagery of the dark continent with the very real barbarism of Nazi Germany and the modern world' - "Esquire" 'Ambitious ...the book works well, as a story, as a compendium of reflections on race and nationhood and as a novel with a refined and distinctive narrative voice and one marvelously complete character, the old White Kenyan, Tom Fairfax ...an elegantly complex, unfailingly intelligent novel' - Lucy Hughes-Hallett, "The Spectator".
