Book Description In Nigeria, circa 1954, American anthropologist Devon McDonald stumbles across a mysterious, isolated tribe populated solely by women. He spends time with them, teaches himself their language, customs and culture, but soon he begins to wonder how, exactly, a tribe with no man can propagate. As McDonald subtly needles the women, he finds that the answers he has sought are far more disturbing than he could have imagined. In his second novel, Wade Carter shows us a microcosmic world of depravity, deception, and desire as he explores themes of guilt, corruption, and gender roles. Can McDonald willfully accept what he has learned about human nature, the female gender, and himself, or is it all just a bunch of Hogswallow? |
