The Catastrophist

Gillespie, an Irishman, goes the Congo in pursuit of his beautiful Italian lover Ines. Unlike her, Gillespie has no interest in the story of the deepening independence crisis, nor in the charismatic leader, Patrice Lumumba. He has other business: this is his last chance for love.

A devastating novel of love and desire and one man's search for his soul in a world of violence and political intrigue.
