Synopsis

This novel, set in an African country, Banguniland, with diversions to America and other countries, attempts to exploit 1950s political and social mores. The narrator, son of a journalist who disappeared in Africa in 1959, tells the story of his attempt to unravel the mystery of his father's ill-fated expedition.

Présentation de l'éditeur

'Dodging the vested interests of the Ngwenya clan, his wayward wife Magdan and the colonial dinosaur Jumbo Munroe, the narrator embarks on a quasi-biblical quest that owes more to Waugh and Ballard than Rider Haggard, a tale that hits the ground running and continues at a vigorous pace. This is one of the shrewdest and most diverting novels about Africa one could hope to read.' DAILY TELEGRAPH
