Book Reviews of Out of Africa (Modern Library)
Book Review: A classic - I try to read it once a year.
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic because one is never aware that the author
is writing a novel -- you never catch her "writing".
She tells her story of Africa, "unconscious" that it's
being read by anyone but herself.
It's a curse and a blessing that Hollywood made a movie
out of her book. A blessing in the sense that the movie
may have introduced new readers to her work; a curse in
the sense that the movie resembles the book only in the
superficial elements of some of the "plot".
A delicious irony is added by the fact she had to use a
male pseudonym in order to get published.
