Horn of Africa.
1980 · New York
by Caputo, Philip.
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1980. Uncorrected Reading Copy with Letter from Publisher Laid-In. Octavo, softbound, 491 pp. A bookworm has wiggled his way through, beginning through the rear cover; an otherwise lovely copy. From lower cover: The Horn of Africa -- God’s joke on man. A land of scorched desert, harsh mountains, piercing thornbrush...Horn of Africa probes the very outer limits of conscience even as it tells a superbly gripping tale. Set in a bleak landscape where none of the signposts of civilization as we know it exist, it exposes the dark side of human nature -- the side that, freed of all restrictions, acts without pity, without conscience, without restraint. It is compelling fiction. (Inventory #: 17913scs)
