This review is from: Meeting With a Great Beast: A Novel (Hardcover)
I first discovered this little gem more than 30 years ago as a Reader's Digest Condensed Book selection, and loved it then. I recently found that same Condensed Book while cleaning out some stuff, and decided there and then that I needed to read the entire story of Meeting with a Great Beast now that I was old enough to understand its full meaning.
On the surface, it is a straightforward narrative of one man's last hurrah - a safari deep into Africa, where, as he stalks an elusive and wily old elephant, King of the Forest, the cancer that is growing inside his body is also stalking him. Once you really get into this short tale - it is only 95 pages - you slowly realize that what he is stalking is not an elephant, no, that would be too simple. What he is stalking and seeking is the answer to the Big Question we all ask at some time in our lives: What does it all mean? Life, death, and how do I fit into this great, grand scheme? Leonard Wibberley delivers a masterful little tale that everyone will take something away from.
