Book Description

October 1986
C.W. Gusewelle's second collection of essays, lets you experience the sights and sounds of Senegal. He writes of the images of Africa as she reveals her secrets. He presents through the limited window of immediate experience, an intimate sense of Africans and life in a small corner of that vast and wonderful and suffering part of the world.

Hope, illusion, helplessness, betrayal, affection. . . all the multitudes of human beings share them. But, in the end, they are experienced singly by individuals, one at a time, each in his own place and way. And in such small stories, each one standing for the many, may be the best chance of understanding Africa.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Africa Notebook, June 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Africa Notebook (Paperback)
This book introduces the reader to the trials and tribulations of living in Africa. It is filled with anecdotes about the people connected with the "hotel" in which the author stayed. Comments the author made about the people were generally colorful and interesting. However, when the author wrote about the politics and travel headaches, it sounded like complaining and did not make me want to read on. In addition, the publishing was not very professional (several pages were not cut correctly and the text revealed some grammatical errors and lapses in editing). Overall, I would give it a lukewarm recommendation.
