Bringing the city to life in dizzying, lyrical prose, Laing weaves a story filled with bizarre and often melancholy characters: an idealistic professor, a lovely young witch, a wide-eyed student, a corrupt politician and his hack sidekick, a business-savvy young woman, a healer, a bishop and a crazy man intent on founding his own village. Their collective narratives create a portrait of a country where colonialism is dying, but democracy remains elusive.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSearch Sweet Country\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a timeless, near-forgotten gem by a virtuosic writer, as necessary now as when the book was first published.
