A collection of short stories from the National Book Award-winning author of Mating - Powerful and original...always convincingly authentic. The ironies keep cutting in new directions. --The New York Times

Whether they are Americans, Brits, or a stubborn and suicidally moral Dutchman, Norman Rush's whites are not sure why they are in Botswana. Their uncertainty makes them do odd things.

Driven half-mad by the barking of his neighbor's dogs, Carl dips timidly into native witchcraft--only to jump back out at the worst possible moment. Ione briskly pursues a career as a seducer (A seductress was merely someone who was seductive and who might or might not be awarded a victory. But a seducer was a professional), while her dentist husband fends off the generous advances of an African cook.

Funny, sad, and deeply knowing, polished throughout to a diamond glitter, Whites is a magnificent collection of stories.
