Concerning Caputo: Africa and Acts of Faith as Art, Science, and Much More

This book is a lively, critical and constructive appraisal of the fiction of famous U.S. novelist, journalist, Africanist, and adventurer, Philip Caputo. He is especially famous for his 1977 memoir of his experience in the U.S. war in Vietnam, A Rumor of War. My book focuses primarily on Caputo's magnum opus, Acts of Faith (2005)--a massive 667 page novel set that focuses on the Second Civil War in Sudan, 1980-2001, and in other parts of Africa.
