Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Soldier - Fuller, Alexandra

With the same disarmingly unguarded prose that won her critical acclaim for Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, Alexandra Fuller tells of her unusual friendship with aKaaa white African and veteran of the brutal, racially divided Rhodesian War. An engrossing and haunting tale of love, godliness, hate, war, and survival, Scribbling the Cat recounts the journey she makes with K into the lands that hold the scars of their war, from Zambia through Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) and into Mozambique. Driven by memories, they venture deeper into the countries remote bush, where they encounter other veterans and survivors and confront the demons of Ka's past: a violent war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and the murdering of innocent civilians.
