Ebook About From the acclaimed author of Dispatches From Pluto and Deepest South of All comes a rollicking travelogue from East Africa.NO ONE TRAVELS QUITE LIKE RICHARD GRANT and, really, no one should. In his last book, the adventure classic God’s Middle Finger, he narrowly escaped death in Mexico’s lawless Sierra Madre. Now, Grant has plunged with his trademark recklessness, wit, and curiosity into East Africa. Setting out to make the first descent of an unexplored river in Tanzania, he gets waylaid in Zanzibar by thieves, whores, and a charismatic former golf pro before crossing the Indian Ocean in a rickety cargo boat. And then the real adventure begins. Known to local tribes as “the river of bad spirits,” the Malagarasi River is a daunting adversary even with a heavily armed Tanzanian crew as travel companions. Dodging bullets, hippos, and crocodiles, Grant finally emerges in war-torn Burundi, where he befriends some ethnic street gangsters and trails a notorious man-eating crocodile known as Gustave. He concludes his journey by interviewing the dictatorial president of Rwanda and visiting the true source of the Nile. Gripping, illuminating, sometimes harrowing, often hilarious, Crazy River is a brilliantly rendered account of a modern-day exploration of Africa, and the unraveling of Grant’s peeled, battered mind as he tries to take it all in.Book Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Review :
A solid, interesting read, journeying with the author into East Africa and its many complex personalities. The quest is the Malagarasi River. Then, a wild and untamed area. Now, probably ruined due in part to the power plant. Stark standouts are the tourists visiting Rwanda that had never heard of the genocide there. Also, the overgrazing, which in Africa and other countries is always a problem and one that always results in barren land incapable of supporting any life. The continued poaching of wildlife even today in 2021 is resulting in decimation of all species. What is wrong with cultures who demand these animals? And the last part of the trip in Rwanda, where the reader is reminded of the nightmarish genocide. The author describes a fascinating interview with the Premier. The reader is also reminded that many Catholic priests had their own congregants burned and massacred throughout the genocide, accounting for the loss of enthusiasm for this religion there. High recommend read! I am a solo backpacking traveler--more than 24 third-world countries on four continents. Two of my sojourns have been to Africa and so I understood well the trials and tribulations of Grant--the reasons for his choosing his route and destinations and the inevitable discombobulated nature of his trip. I know full well that no travel in Africa is ever linear, coherent or predictable no matter how well thought out or planned. For some unfathomable reason it is the nature of Africa, as no other place in the world, to confound those who visit and stymy those who search for answers there to grand questions and attempts to glean its soul.What happened to Grant also happened to me and countless others. Prior to going there, after extensive research on my intended route, I thought I knew what to expect but once there I immediately found myself adrift in a completely alien world with no direction and no way home. My mind was constantly enveloped in a fog as if I were in a dream-- I was unable to think clearly and found myself always trapped in the present with no consciousness of past or future--and so I drifted from one event to the next-- never knew where I would find myself next--never knew where I should go or what I should do. I might have been there forever but as all dreams end, so too did my stay there. How I managed to hang onto enough sanity, reason and strength to do what I had to do to leave I do not know. Grant's experience seemed to mirror mine in all respects--incoherent, discombobulated and without direction. Any third world vagabond would enjoy and identify with his account and recognize it as authentic.The quote I most liked was Grant's reference to Raymond Aron's thought that "Optimism is usually the effect of an intellectual error." How true--particularly in Africa. A thoroughly organized and linear story, as it is thought most good books should be, it was not--but it was refreshingly real.It is true that Africa is the most beautiful, most intriguing, most spellbinding, place on Earth and once you've been there you will always return---but Africa will, in the end, break your heart."And There I Was" by DH Koester Read Online Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Download Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa PDF Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Mobi Free Reading Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Download Free Pdf Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa PDF Online Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Mobi Online Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Reading Online Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa Read Online Richard Grant Download Richard Grant Richard Grant PDF Richard Grant Mobi Free Reading Richard Grant Download Free Pdf Richard Grant PDF Online Richard Grant Mobi Online Richard Grant Reading Online Richard GrantRead Inventive Engineering: Knowledge and Skills for Creative Engineers By Tomasz Arciszewski
