Norman Rush has been compared to everyone from Gabriel García Márquez to John Fowles, and in this scintillating novel about life and love, it’s not hard to see why. The anonymous narrator of Mating is a 32-year-old anthropology student in Botswana, and as she follows the enchanting Denoon in a trek across the Kalahari Desert, her wry observations about sex, politics and feminism become the basis for an unsettling, funny and highly original story. | Mating by Norman Rush, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
