With the same disarmingly unguarded prose that won her critical acclaim for Donโt Letโs Go to the Dogs Tonight, Alexandra Fuller tells of her unusual friendship with โKโโa 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 countriesโ remote bush, where they encounter other veterans and survivors and confront the demons of Kโs past: a violent war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and the murdering of innocent civilians.
