Simply the Pest (Last of the Rhodesians - Chronicles of an African anarchist)

COLONIAL RHODESIA: Last bastion of the British Empire in Africa When MENSA declared in 1967 that the white teenagers of Rhodesia were the smartest in the world they neglected to analyse the country s most mentally disturbed kid ME! In several anecdotes, the insane dyslexic dysfunctional child recites his time as an inhabitant of a colonial city Salisbury, the capital of the illegal Republic of Rhodesia. If you are looking for bullshit stories of elephants drowning in the goldfish pond, crocodiles biting your genitals whilst reading 'The Gokwe Kid' on the toilet, lions chewing the maid as she serves gin and tonics to Bwana and Madam (naturally under another glorious African sunset worth dying for hah hah), whilst giant pythons strangulate the expensive imported pet penguin You have the wrong book. This is about a very disturbed city boy. In a series of short stories, the author (Simply the Pest), relates what it was like to be brought up in paradise. (Not.) Insane in the membrane, the trials and trivia transgress beyond comprehension of life as a kid in the last bastion of white colonial rule. Hilarious, but also disturbing this book may make you wonder why we - Last of the Rhodesians - even bothered.
