Disturbance-Loving Species (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Aug 09, 2007; Writer: Peter Chilson; Genres: Fiction, Short Stories; Publisher: Mariner Books

The ''disturbance-loving species'' are well-meaning Americans in Africa, men and women born into privilege who unaccountably decide to become teachers in Niger or research dysentery in Kenya. Like Africa-philes throughout literature, they puzzle endlessly over their attraction to the continent, but in the case of Peter Chilson?s Disturbance-Loving Species reach no particularly fresh conclusions.
