Bill Bryson's African Diary
Bill Bryson's African Diary | Bill Bryson
3 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
Here is a man who suffers so his readers can laugh. Daily Telegraph Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International. Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

Very brief engaging memoir of Bryson‘s time in Kenya, told in his signature humorous style.

It was decent (44 pages for my ebook), but not nearly long enough. I would have loved for there to be more. He has his trademark humour, and he met some interesting people, but in one day, I‘ve already forgotten much of it. It was just too short to really get “into”.
