Not much nail-biting in the first half of the book, there is a lot of relationship drama that I don't care about. Learned some stuff about boating and the San Juans though.
Here Clyde Ford applies many of the themes from the work of John Campbell to his exploration of African mythology, concentrating on the many mythologies from Sub-Saharan Africa. He gives us many stories from the various cultures and discusses the universal themes illustrated in each. He also talks about how these explorations of myth and of African culture relate to his experience of life as an African-American. For those interested in Africa and in world mythologies.
