Beschreibung
A successful and respected travel writer mysteriously disappears. Did he voluntarily leave his family or is there something else behind it? To find him, his son embarks on a journey through sub-Saharan Africa, which becomes something like an initiation rite into adulthood for him. The black continent mercilessly pulls him into the heart of darkness, chews him up, and spits him out transformed. Will he even be able to return? Despite its novelistic style, the author reveals many factual details to the reader and guides him through several African countries. The novel 'On the Golden Coast' was nominated for the prestigious European literary award The Dublin International Literary Award. The Irish Times included the book among the thirteen best novels about Africa written by Europeans. Evald Flisar, the most translated author from Slovenia and an indefatigable traveler himself, stands alongside writers such as Joseph Conrad and Graham Greene.
