Description
You’ve heard of the Dark Continent and you’ve read Heart of Darkness; well, this is The Dark Heart of Humanity, where it all began.
More misanthropic mayhem all the way from the Canaries to Cape Town. Make out with a mummy, witness the dark secrets of vodou, say hello to Lucy, whitewater raft the Nile, go face-to-face with a gorilla, hallucinate on Kilimanjaro, fly across Victoria Falls, be swept out to sea by a riptide, bungy jump at Bloukrans and skydive over Cape Town.
All this and more. Not just a travelogue or memoir, but the bigger picture of life on our beleaguered, long-suffering, over-populated planet and the absurdity of existence.
With some enthralling notes, comments and conclusions on the naked ape and all that it stands for, to peruse at the end. Go back, we fucked up everything…

I had no idea what this book would be about but I’m so glad I chose to read it. Once I c started I couldn’t put it down. I learned so much about places I’ve been and places I’ve yet to visit. It’s eerily scary at times. Read it. You will not be disappointed!!!

I loved the author’s point of view and the truths told through this unusual travelogue. Readers will be tempted to treat this as satirical but there’s a lot of heart felt truth here, I think. I enjoyed the writing style very much and look forward to reading more.
