" Scribbling the Cat defines easy definition. " is no more a simple profile of an ex-soldier than Fuller's first book, the acclaimed bestseller Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, was merely a memoir of growing up.The story catches fire." - Newsweek "One of the ten best writers of the last decade." - Los Angeles Times Driven by memories, they venture, in this modern-day Heart of Darkness, deeper into the countries' remote bush, where they encounter other veterans and survivors, and confront the demon of K's past, a violent war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and the murdering of innocent civilians. With the same disarmingly unguarded prose that won her critical acclaim for Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, Fuller 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. An Engrossing and haunting tale of love, godliness, hate, war, and survival, Scribbling the Cat is the story of Alexandra Fuller's unusual friendship with "K", a strangely charismatic white African and Rhodesian War veteran.
