Présentation de l'éditeur :
The raw stream of thoughts, events and feelings, are like a rope, magnified down to the fiber level. The personal account of Botswana highlights the different strands of Hodge's journey (self discovery and place - stunning sub-Saharan Africa) and how they are woven together: the cycles of highs and lows about teaching, poverty, personal love, a struggling society, relationships, adventure, and running. They are inseparable components recalled vividly. The characters include British geologists working for DeBeers, a former Afrikaner mercenary working at a Botswana abattoir, American geologists and Peace Corps teachers, Canadian teachers, and a local zoologist, among others. These people were friends and many still are in contact. The book is about running and becoming whole in self and place (fighting the yang) and a phenomenal athlete quite by accident. As a way of coping, Hodge picked up long distance running and competed to become the National Marathon Champion of Botswana in 1992.
