Product Information

From the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body comes a travel diary documenting a visit to Kenya. All royalties and profits go to CARE International. In the early fall of 2002, famed travel writer Bill Bryson journeyed to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty around the world. He arrived with a set of mental images of Africa gleaned from television broadcasts of low-budget Jungle Jim movies in his Iowa childhood and a single viewing of the film version of Out of Africa . (Also with some worries about tropical diseases, insects, and large predators.) But the vibrant reality of Kenya and its people took over the second he deplaned in Nairobi, and this diary records Bill Bryson's impressions of his trip with his inimitable trademark style of wry observation and curious insight. From the wrenching poverty of the Kibera slum in Nairobi to the meticulously manicured grounds of the Karen Blixen house and the human fossil riches of the National Museum, Bryson registers the striking contrasts of a postcolonial society in transition. He visits the astoundingly vast Great Rift Valley; undergoes the rigors of a teeth-rattling train journey to Mombasa and a hair-whitening flight through a vicious storm; and visits the refugee camps and the agricultural and economic projects where dedicated CARE professionals wage noble and dogged war against poverty, dislocation, and corruption. Though brief in compass and duration, Bill Bryson's African Diary is rich in irreverent, poignant, and morally instructive observation. Like all of this author's work, it can make the reader laugh, think, and especially, feel all at the same time.

"Bryson is one of the funniest travel writers in the business." --The Globe and Mail "Bryson has become an enormously popular travel writer by coming off as the most literate tour guide you've ever had." --The New York Times "Bryson is a terrific stylist. You can't help but enjoy his writing, for its cheer and buoyancy, and for the frequent demonstration of his peculiar, engaging turn of mind." --Ottawa Citizen "Bryson is first and foremost a storyteller -- and a supremely comic and original one at that." --Winnipeg Free Press, "Bryson is one of the funniest travel writers in the business." -- The Globe and Mail "Bryson has become an enormously popular travel writer by coming off as the most literate tour guide you've ever had." -- The New York Times "Bryson is a terrific stylist.

After reading some of the content I don't ever want to go to Africa. Also compared to other Bryson books this is a pamphlet.
