Dark Star Safari
Overland from Cairo to Capetown
Paul Theroux
Join Paul Theroux on an epic journey through Africa, as he travels by various means of transportation, enduring danger, delay, and dismaying circumstances. Along the way, he talks to locals, aid workers, missionaries, and tourists, resulting in an insightful meditation on the history, politics, and beauty of Africa and its people. In a new postscript, Theroux recounts his return to Africa, including the dramatic events of visiting Zimbabwe.

@acaseofthegolf2 @markbaldwin1 @MaMondayQInfo Mark sent me Harlem Shakes. It’s a phenomenal read.
Sick Puppy is hilarious political novel about Florida.
No Good Among The Living is a wonderful book about Afghanistan, as is Places in Between
I love Paul Theroux’s travelogues - Dark Star Safari is a good place to start – source
