The Laughing Monsters
A post-9/11 literary spy thriller from the National Book Award-winning author of "Tree of Smoke"Adriko is an African who styles himself a soldier of fortune and who claims to have served, at various times, the Ghanaian army, the Kuwaiti Emiri Guard, and the American Green Berets. He´s probably broke now, but he remains, at thirty-six, as stirred by his own doubtful schemes as he was a decade ago. Although Nair believes some kind of money-making plan lies at the back of it all, Adriko´s stated reason for inviting his friend to Freetown is for Nair to meet Adriko´s fiancee, a college girl named Davidia from Colorado. Together the three set out to visit Adriko´s clan in the Uganda-Congo borderland-but each of these travelers is keeping secrets from the others. Their journey through a land abandoned by the future leads Adriko, Nair, and Davidia to meet themselves not in a new light, but rather in a new darkness...
