[new: Forum] Dark Star Safari - Overland from Cairo to Cape Town Theroux, Paul Publisher: Hamish Hamilton/Penguin England Edition: 155mm x 240mm, 495 pages ISBN: 0-241-14049-8 Our classification: Travel writing Reviews from www.wildwatch.com Paul Theroux needs no introduction to the world in general. Africa on the other hand has been in dire need of exactly that, and Theroux is better placed than most to facilitate an honest and unflinching entree. To begin with he spent several years as a teacher in both Malawi and Uganda immediately before independence in that latter country and thereafter in Uganda, learning to speak both Chichewa and basic Swahili. The 1960s were an interesting and important time for an Africa being freed of colonial shackles and any reader of this book cannot fail to feel Theroux, in his reminiscing, sharing in the idealist passion for the potentials and possibilities of the young countries to which he became bonded. In a timely return to Africa forty years later, however, his feelings of desperation and disappointment are just as palpable. From highs of crossing Lake Victoria, paddling down the Shire River and an emotional farewell to his two local travelling companions in Ethiopia (‘[We are] black, you are red. But we are bruzzers.’), to the lows in his return to the now decrepit university and school where he taught in Uganda and Malawi respectively, there is a consistent theme that focuses on the gradual decline of an initially promising continent where the answers are far from clear, but where there is still hope in a simple humanity.

O-Zone "The Mosquito Coast" (Reviewed by Judi Clark APR 10, 1999) Allie Fox is sick of the fast foods, television, crime, bad workmanship, and cheap imports. He is interested in the lifestyle of the Central American migrant workers who work for his boss and thus he decides that the answer is to start a new life in the jungles of Honduras. Fox moves his wife and four children from Hatfield, Massachusetts to a remote overgrown clearing on the Mosquito Coast, which he believes is untainted by the modern world. The story is told from the view point of his son Charlie, who admires his father for "not settling for any average Crusoe sort of living." Father builds a solid house (by going down to the beach to collect what is washed in from the world), has running water, toilet and laundry. Once this monumental task is complete, he decides to give a gift to the natives - ice. So he builds a monstrous machine out of old pipes to turn "fire into ice." Naturally, Allie Fox's actions are full of contradictions. Never mind his premise that this is a untainted region of the world. He soon finds that the natives know about ice and worse - Christianity. What works so well in this story is that it is told through the eyes of Charlie. Children naturally believe in their parents, but at the same time they have their own inner sense.
