Set in 2004-2006, Madison Whitehouse, a black conservative, a grimly funny provocateur who delights in insisting racism ended in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act, swiping at feminism, multiculturalism, affirmative-action, illegal immigrants and the Left. He is also a food critic for the Orange County Register and best-selling author of travel books that have gotten him banned in many third world countries. He is in the middle of a divorce and low on money. His agent proposes a travel book about Central Africa. He agrees, sure he will be back in a few weeks. In Africa, he is caught in a coup d'etat, accused of the death of American soldiers, then goes on the run and in the course of his journey, a secret he has kept for years will be forced into the open. He will have a question to answer: At what point does one stop trying to avoid who they were and confront who they are now? |
