Dark Star Safari

Noted travel writer Paul Theroux travels back to Africa, where 40 years earlier he began his writing career, and tours the entirety of this immense country. In its descriptions and observations about the people the author meets along the way, DARK STAR SAFARI provides some perspective on America, as viewed through the eyes of those whose lives are radically impacted by many U.S. foreign policy initiatives. Along with pointed political commentary, Theroux offers readers a look at the daily life in bazaars, oases, and deserts, profiling the variety of inhabitants that dwell in these places.
