As Boyle fills in the surrounding landscape with African politics, racial tensions, slave trading, transportation problems, haphazard restaurant dining, and a delightfully odd assortment of fellow travelers, he brings the romantic Africa of Isak Dinesen and Beryl Markham into its turbulent present. Black-and-white photographs.
