Description

A finalist for the 2010 Man Booker Prize Within this novel from South-African author Damon Galgut, a loner moves across western Africa, Europe, and India. Hesitant to come back home, and uncertain what heis after, he uses the pathways of vacationers he meets on the way. Like a fan, a fan handled, a protector, each new experience-by having an enigmatic stranger, several reckless hikers, a lady on the brink-brings him nearer to facing their own identification. As he's forced toward a tragic conclusion, crossing the craze of edge crossings and the calm of wilderness, every fresh path is tinged with surmounting mourning.
