About This Item
Berkeley. 1992. Bantam Books. 11 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. Very Good. Broadside. Produced by Okeanos Press. paperback. keywords: Literature Africa America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is a story of Africa, a story about storytelling-and the story, recounted in his own words, of Samuel Kimbu, onetime merchant seaman now confined to land as a customs inspector in a country on the east coast of the continent. The old Africa, before the Europeans changed it beyond all recognition, was a place of beauty and sadness, power and humor, magic and allegory. The new Africa is a place of corruption and poverty, sickness and violence. the two worlds collide in Samuel Kimbu; he is torn as his land is torn, and he finds resolution, as Africa must, in a return to the source of all strength: the power to tell a story. That story, 'To Sleep with Ghosts,' becomes its own, third world. inventory #19051
