Continent - Jim Crace

A curious collection of seven fables set in an imaginary seventh continent that seems to represent the Third World/Developing Countries/LDCs/TPLACs*. The style is straightforward but imaginative, and the common theme is exploitation - economic, cultural and sexual.

*It's a Yes Minister gag: Tin Pot Little African Countries. Sorry.
