“[Neugeboren] might not be as famous as some of his compeers, like Philip Roth or John Updike, but it's becoming increasingly harder to argue that he's any less talented.”

âMichael Schaub,
Kirkus Reviews

FROM THE SECLUDED VILLAGES in the south of France, to the cattle crawl in the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa, Neugeboren examines the great mysteries that unsettle human relationships.
