You're going to Africa to get away from a war in Ukraine you almost went to and from reading Green Hills... you know you can do one better. Welcome to Arusha and the door to the Serengeti. Five safaris to see if you can forget what you are and where you are headed--this is modern travel writing with a little nostalgia for older books and something like the footsteps in Olduvai. We're always tracing older prints from before us, books from books and now this, getting away from the West and hoping against all, love and animals can save you. There's something older here, something forgotten and you can tell by the way she breathed on you that first night, asleep, nose to nose just what's been forgotten. Let's go see what the grass out by the Kopjes can tell us standing in the safari car with just a wish you could start over and just feel something real, just once, please, just once.
