Book summaryIn 104 chapters, T.C. Boyle's hugely comic picaresque novel attaches the story of Ned Rise, thief and pimp, to the actual exploits of the real Mungo Park, one of Europe's greatest explorers. The intricate plot describes their adventures through 18th-century London, Scotland, and--especially--a vividly evoked Africa. WATER MUSIC, Boyle's first full-length work of fiction (published in 1981), carries all his trademarks: a firmly controlled narrative, wackily unpredictable characters, a wonderfully baroque use of language, and an expansive reach into the workings of the human heart.
