Publisher's summary

James Monroe is a sophisticated American professional on mission for The World Bank in Africa during the early 1990's. Despite his worldliness, his actions betray a late twentieth century innocent abroad who embodies both the bravado and the debilitating insecurities of the modern American male.

Set in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Bombay, India, Mr. Monroe's journey into authenticity results in a series of failed relationships that reveal the dark, enigmatic recesses of his complex personality and eventually land him in a hellhole prison in Bombay. His tragedy unfolds into an ending that no one, especially Monroe, could have possibly predicted or imagined.

In its exploration of American male stereotypes and in its suggestion of vulnerability as a key to masculine authenticity, Victoria Falls dares to embrace those humane qualities of love, kindness, and creativity that have of late been extolled as the provenance of soul-searching women, but have been largely ignored in American fiction about men.

A great listen!

James not only captured my attention in the prologue, but kept me engaged throughout the book. He effectively developed each character, all of which served a purpose in his story. He kept to his narrative and truly captured the idea of a modern, naive young man who with maturity and tough life decisions, finally found his meaning of life. The ending was not as I thought it would end, it was even better! James found the perfect person to read the novel. I hope James writes another book as I will be sure to purchase! Thanks for the riveting book I could listen to when doing meaningless housework.
