The Epedition To The Baobab Tree - Wilma Stockenstrom
Wearily, I take the path to the river, there in the cool to fill my being with the sounds of my sister-being, to refresh myself in the modest scents of pigeonwood and mitzeerie, to let my gaze end in a tangle of monkey ropes and fern arches and the slowly descending leaves, and to find rest, all day long, all night long.A young slave girl accompanies her owner on an expedition into the African interior in search of a mythical city. One by one, our narrator's companions disappear, leaving her to take refuge in the hollow of a baobab tree. In unfamiliar terrain, the party gets lost.
This powerful fable, translated from Wilma Stockenstroem's original Afrikaans by Nobel Prize-winner J. M. There, she finds the space and will to reflect upon her life's journey, telling her story to the boabab itself. Coetzee, is a remarkable portrait of dislocation and empowerment.
It is also a brilliant insight into Cotezee's craft as a writer.
