Description
From the master of modern travel writing comes a long-awaited new full length travel book on the vast and varied continent of Africa.
With the publication of THE GREAT RAILWAY BAZAAR, Theroux introduced us to a new kind of travel writing, refreshingly honest and full of humorous incident and chance encounter. And what better destination than Africa – huge, complex and full of life – for his first major travel book for seven years. Setting off from Cairo to Cape Town, Theroux is as obsessivelycurious and wittily observant as always – and his readers will find themselves on an epic journey which will enlighten as well as entertain.
