Scribbling the Cat - Alexandra Fuller

An engrossing and haunting Tale of love, godliness, hate, war, and survival, Scribbling the Cat is the story of the authors unusual friendship with "K" - a strangely charismatic white African and Rhodesian War veteran. She recounts the journey she makes with K into the lands that hold the scars of their war, from Zambia through Zimbabwe and into Mozambique. 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 confron the demon of K's past - a violent war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and the murder of innocent civilians.
