About The Black Nile: One Man's Amazing Journey Through
Product Description "A supremely entertaining work, and also an important one." -David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z Upon hearing the news of tenuous peace in Sudan, foreign correspondent Dan Morrison bought a plank-board boat, summoned a friend who'd never left America, and set out from Uganda, paddling the Nile on a quest to reach Cairo-a trip that tyranny and war had made impossible for decades. With the propulsive force of a thriller, Morrison's chronicle is a mash-up of travel narrative and reportage, packed with flights into the frightful and absurd. From the hardscrabble fishing villages on Lake Victoria to the floating nightclubs of Cairo, The Black Nile tracks the snarl of commonalities and conflicts that bleed across the Nile valley, bringing to life a complex region in profound transition. Review "This is hard-core African travel." --Hugh Pope, Wall Street Journal"A masterful narrative of investigative reportage, travel writing, and contemporary history." --The Daily Beast "[A] portrait of a fractured country just one spark away from a renewal of hostilities." -Joshua Hammer, The New York Times About the Author Dan Morrison's dispatches from Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East have appeared in Slate, Newsday, National Geographic News, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, and U.S. News & World Report. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
