With the same disarmingly unguarded prose that won her critical acclaim for "Donat Letas Go to the Dogs Tonight," Alexandra Fuller tells of her unusual friendship with aKaaa white African and veteran of the brutal, racially divided Rhodesian War. An engrossing and haunting tale of love, godliness, hate, war, and survival, "Scribbling the Cat" recounts the journey she makes with K into the lands that hold the scars of their war, from Zambia through Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) and into Mozambique. Driven by memories, they venture deeper into the countriesa remote bush, where they encounter other veterans and survivors and confront the demons of Kas past: a violent war marked by racial strife, jungle battles, torture, and the murdering of innocent civilians.

Industry Reviews

"Searing, at times intoxicating prose... striking, intimately revealing..." --The Washington Post"Scribbling the Cat defies easy definition . . . [a] wild-hearted beauty of a book." --O, The Oprah Magazine

"[Scribbling the Cat] is no more a simple profile of an ex-soldier than Fuller's first book, the acclaimed bestseller Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, was merely a memoir of growing up.... The story catches fire." --Newsweek
