À propos de cet audio

Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson's awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe - but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.

...but definitely had issues with it. I did not love the narration. Quickly got very tired of Henderson's voice. His true New York attitude, however, was true to the word. The king's voice, which also got tiresome, was a combination of African and Asian (it was only supposed to be African). Insulting how Bellow constantly refers to the large size/fat of only the women. Guess this says a lot about the man. This, apparently, was his favorite novel!

Good story for the most part...
