Book summaryIn this amusing autobiographical account, writer Gianni Celati describes how he and his friend, film maker Jean Talon, got lost in West Africa when they attempted to create a documentary on the methods of Dogon healers. Avoiding a chronological narrative, the story emerges from Celati's insights about himself in relation to foreign places and people. Through this literary exercise, Celati claims that he developed a stronger sense of his own identity. |
