Scribbling the Cat

In Scribbling the Cat, Alexandra Fuller recounts her friendship with a rugged, battle-scarred man known only as K, as they explore the scars of Africa’s brutal past and present. Traveling from Zambia through Zimbabwe and Mozambique, Fuller and K visit war-torn sites and meet veterans, offering an honest, nuanced perspective on the toll of conflict and the resilience of those affected. With her signature evocative prose, Fuller provides an insightful look into war, memory, and life in Africa, blending somber reflection with moments of odd humor.
