| Abstract
|
:
|
A story about three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The theme of the book explores the limits of humanity when it touches the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert and examines the ways in which Americans' incomprehension of alien cultures leads to the ultimate destruction of those cultures.
