Teaser Tuesday: Brazzeville Beach



Then, in the distance, I heard more hooting and barking.  The other chimps hooted in response.
-- Brazzaville Beach by William Boyd.

This is a great book about a "primate researcher" in Africa.  I am completely sucked in, just like with every Boyd book I've read.

I am reading this as one of my James Tait Black Memorial Prize picks for the 2011 Battle of the Prizes, British Version, ChallengeWilliam Boyd is one of my favorites.
