The African Safari Papers by Robert Sedlack

The African Safari Papers by Robert Sedlack is a novel that describes a dysfunctional families trip to Africa. The more I write the more angry I get so I'll just say that this has pretensions of literature and uses every single shortcut to try to get their including addiction/abuse/mental illness instead of actual characterization. There is a preoccupation with sex including actual incest. Apparently this was shortlisted for the Commonwealth writing prize. If this is the best of the field I'm terrified.

Very unrecommended!
