Description
From the Book Back
“How would you like to go to Africa?” Those were the words of legendary film director John Wilson to his friend, scriptwriter Peter Verrill. Not just to Africa, but to the darkest corner of the continent they could find. The famous flamboyant director was about to make his epic masterpiece … a movie to come out of Africa, a work of art that could only be made by a mad genius. And John Wilson was a cinematic genius possessed by a madness sent dangerously out of control by the madness of Africa itself — the juxtaposition of grandeur and degradation, hatred and love, undiminished since Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Timely, majestic, Peter Viertel’s novel brilliantly portrays the human cost of making a great movie and the tragic legacy, for Africa, of the white man’s ignorance, arrogance … and passion.
