BILL BRYSON'S AFRICAN DIARY

Bill Bryson has been to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity "dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty around the world."

This is Bill's first trip to developing Africa, and he is writing a 10,000-word diary of his travels, which will be published by Broadway Books in December 2002.

The diary, the publishers say, will contain the trademark stamp of irreverent, poignant, and fascinatingly instructive observation.

So who is Bill Bryson?

Bryson is unparalleled in his ability to cut a culture off at the knees in a way that is so humorous and so affectionate that those being ridiculed are laughing too hard to take offence.
