Experience a journey of grief, renewal, and self-discovery in this searing novel by bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth McCracken.

Mating book cover
Mating
Norman Rush - 1992-09-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1991)
Рейтинг Goodreads
What do you get when Jane Austen meets the Peace Corps in 1980s Africa? A hilarious and thought-provoking comedy of manners called Mating. Set in Botswana, this novel explores the age-old question of who mates with whom and why within the utopian society of Tsau, created by American anthropologist Nelson Denoon. Our protagonist, a postgraduate student in anthropology, follows Denoon into the Kalahari Desert against a backdrop of feminism, socialism, political corruption, and international development projects. Norman Rush’s ambitious, witty, and insightful novel satirizes without demeaning and is a guaranteed entertaining read.
