by Roy Richard Grinker
First line
ON MOST MORNINGS IN 1957, the Scottish anthropologist Colin Macmillan Turnbull would wake up in his hut next to his young Mbuti assistant, Kenge, their legs and arms intertwined in the way that Mbuti men like to sleep with each other to stay warm.
From the rear cover
In this scrupulously researched biography, Roy Richard Grinker charts the rise and fall of one of anthropology's most colorful and controversial figures, Colin Turnbull. From Turnbull's Scottish family and privileged education to his travels in Africa and his great love affair with Joseph Towles, Grinker, noted for his own work on the Pygmies, gives readers a fascinating account of Turnbull's passions, flaws, dreams, and influence on the field.
