About This Item
Minneapolis, MN, USA: Milkweed Editions, 1993. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. R. W. Scholes. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Foreword by Rosellen Brown. Designed and illustrated by R. W. Scholes. Clean and unmarked pictorial wrappers with light wear to front corners and fore edge of front cover, Soundly bound, square. Internals quite clean and free from any markings of creasing. Debut book by Eileen Drew, a Californian who was born in Morocco to a Foreign Service family and has lived in several African countries. Her stories draw power from her careful observations and the intelligence of her insights about a country she loves. She describes the savannahs, a pigmy village, the jungles beautifully and lyrically. She understands the complexities of two vastly different cultures and why there is so much enmity between them. There are nine short stories, that read like a novel, painting a distinctive portrait of Africa. 155 pages. 6 x 9 inches. Milkweed Editions, Minneapolis, MN, 1993.
