Sex and the River Styx
Hoagland, Edward
Sex and the River Styx / Edward Hoagland ; foreword by Howard Frank Mosher - White River Junction, Vt. : Chelsea Green Pub. , c2011. - xiv, 247 p. ; 23 cm.
Small silences -- Visiting Norah -- Last call -- Circus music -- A last look around -- Curtain calls -- Endgame -- The glue is gone -- A country for old men -- The American dissident -- East of Everest -- Barley and yaks -- Sex and the River Styx.
We follow Hoagland as he travels to Kampala, Uganda, to meet a family he'd been helping support, only to find a divide far greater than he ever imagined; as he reflects on aging, love, and sex in a deeply personal, often surprising way; and as he brings us the wonder of wild places, alongside the despair of losing them. Hoagland's stories of African matriarchs, Tibetan yak herders, circus aerialists, and the strippers who entertained college boys in 1950s Boston shine with the energy and acuity that have characterized his work for decades and the wisdom of a man who has spent his lifetime in a state of keen observation, almost rhapsody.
