Written by a travel writer and poet, this work tells of her journey to Madascar to explore Malagasy oral traditions and myths. |
| Synopsis: |
With wit, insight, and humor, Colleen McElroy tells of her journey to Madagascar for a Fulbright research project exploring Malagasy oral traditions and myths. Throughout, she interweaves traditional Malagasy stories. 'Colleen McElroy, one of the country's most versatile writers, scores large with this book about her adventures among the storytellers of Madagascar. Her characters and scenes are as fabulous as those found in a novel.' - Ishmael Reed, author of "Mumbo Jumbo". 'McElroy the poet is indeed obvious in every line of this work as she brilliantly develops characters, relates adventures, and captures the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feel of every area of her travels.' - Daryl Cumber Dance, author of "Honey, Hush! An Anthology of African American Women's Humor". |
