Best-selling memoirist Alexandra Fuller travels with a strangely charismatic Rhodesian war veteran into a modern-day heart of darkness. When Alexandra Bo Fuller was home in Zambia a few years ago, visiting her parents for Christmas, she asked her father about a nearby banana farmer who was known for being a tough bugger. Her fathers response was a warning to steer clear of him he told Bo Curiosity scribbled the cat. Nonetheless, Fuller began her strange friendship with the man she calls K, a white African and veteran of the Rhodesian war. With the same fiercely beautiful prose that won her acclaim for Dont Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight, Fuller here recounts her friendship with K. K is, seemingly, a man of contradictions tattooed, battle scarred, and weathered by farm work, he is a lion of a man, feral and bulletproof.
