Description

Neil Peart's travel memoir of thoughts, observations, and experiences as he cycles through West Africa, reveals the subtle, yet powerful writing style. As he describes his extraordinary journey and his experiences from the pains of dysentery, to a confrontation with an armed soldier, to navigating dirt roads off the beaten path he reveals his own emotional landscape, and along the way, the different "masks" that he discovers he wears.
