mdash 's review for:
West with the Night
by Beryl Markham
As a hero of adventure, Beryl Markham is easy to idolize. West with the Night is stuffed with the rich, rip-roaring imagery of an extraordinary life. Between the turquoise bush plane, the lions stalking in and out, the horse races, and the emergency landings, the book generates plenty of fodder for fantasy. Musings about Africa and Africans, however, exude a musty, colonial odor.
