Kau is not a man given to brooding, though he is afflicted by both conscience and longing, by painful memories and dreams about the boy he has killed. He also feels a strong visceral pull from the world he left behind, from his dead wife and children back in Africa.
Horack, the author of a well-received story collection, “The Southern Cross,” writes luminous, clean prose, holding the fantastically beautiful wilderness steadily in front of us, but also describing a scalping or evisceration with a matter-of-fact directness that reminds us how the terms of that world were negotiated and understood. He has a poet’s tuned attentiveness, but never uses his sentences to preen. “
