Really enjoyed Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, so I look forward to this one.
Fuller (Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight : An African Childhood) journeys through modern Zambia, to battlefields in Zimbabwe and Mozambique with the scarred veteran of the Rhodesian Wars she identifies only as "K." Intrigued by the mysterious neighbor of her parent's Zambian fish farm and further enticed by her father's warning that "curiosity scribbled the cat" ("scribbling" is Afrikaans slang for "killing"), Fuller embarks on a journey that covers as much cratered psychic landscape as it does African bush country.
I love this a lot more than her first memoir. It's much more intense. Painfully honest and raw in emotions, yet graceful and poetic in prose.
Will likely save it for the next Afrikan Swap until something comes up first.
