Multicultural African-American | Fiction
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 “K”—a 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 K’s past: a violent
war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and
the murdering of innocent civilians.
