...life beyond man; man only a pawn on the chessboard called existence... A young man, on taking a year's retreat to the rural and isolated region of Dafe as a 'pilgrim', finds himself embarked on a long and disenchanting path towards reality - his Utopic visions of mankind crumble under his observation of the corruption, ignorance and bigotry of contemporary African society, and the cruel extremes of poverty and wealth and the bloody conflicts of religion. A coming-of-age story, the bleakness of which lays bare the problems of contemporary Africa - a truly eye-opening experience.
