About the Author
Tama Janowitz is the acclaimed author of SLAVES OF NEW YORK and A CERTAIN AGE, both published by Bloomsbury. She lives in New York.
From Library Journal
Mgungu, a reformed cannibal from the imaginary island of New Burnt Norton, marries a New York heiress and Peace Corps volunteer preoccupied with her contact lenses. At cocktail parties he wants to discuss Thoreau, while she advises "If you can't think of anything interesting to say just lean against the wall and look savage." The problem with this absurd premise is sustaining it for an entire novel. The satirical one-liners begin to wear thin by the time gangsters trick Mgungu into cannibalism. A series of forced situations finally puts the articulate, sensitive hero in prisonvictim of American greed and decadence. This outrageous novel should enhance Janowitz's status with the avant-garde. Leonard Kniffel, Detroit P.L.
