This wholly original novel by the award-winning author of The Book of Salt is a heady concoction of sex, politics, and intellect. The narrator, an American anthropologist living in Botswana, has a penchant for Nelson Denoon—a charismatic intellectual rumored to have founded a utopian society in the remote Kalahari—and what ensues is an erotic comedy of manners that explores the deepest canyons of eros even as it asks deep questions about the good society, poverty, and male-female relations.
