| Description: | At the beginning of this masterpiece of African literature, Clarence, a white man, has been shipwrecked on the coast of Africa. Flush with self-importance, he demands to see the king, but the king has just left for the south of his realm. Traveling through an increasingly phantasmagoric landscape in the company of a beggar & two roguish boys, Clarence is gradually stripped of his pretensions, until he is sold to the royal harem as a slave. |
| Key Points: | "Allegorical, Kafkaesque & African in a unique way... An exploration of exile, quest & reconciliation with a power greater than logic or reason" The New York Times |
