Award-winning author Reginald
McKnight s first novel is the hallucinatory
tale of an African American s quest for
identity in two radically different cultures.
In America Evan Norris enjoys all the
comforts of a middle-class existence and
the love of Wanda, a strong and fiercehy
intelligent woman who is determined to see
Evan succeed in her world. Unfortunately
Evan would rather get stoned with a
comfortable band of aging hippies who
entice him to kick back and drop out. In a
moment of surrender Evan joins the Peace
Corps, setting out for Africa both to defer
any sort of real commitment and to discover
the black identity that so empowers
Wanda. Several months later he finds
himself in Senegal, a country both modern
and ancient, where the real and the unreal
are inseparably entwined.
Battling a malarial fever that blurs the
edges of reality, Evan walks away from his
meaningless post with the Peace Corps
and into the life of Aminata. the beautiful.
U.S.-educated daughter of a powerful local
marabou. As their passion intensifies.
Evan s malarial-fever dreams become
more and more real. He finds himself "on
the bus," traveling with a recurrent group
of locals, each one of whom he "becomes"
in moments that lie between reality and
delirium.
