ISAK DINESEN: THE LIFE OF A STORYTELLER

By Judith Ferman:
 (In the early 1900s) "British East Africa had a highly erotic atmosphere; it was a place where, with the sanction of nature, civilized inhibitions were let go. Serial monogamy was athletically practiced, and in the bars of steamers that carried settlers out to their farms or hunters to their adventures, women were accosted with the famous question, 'Are you married, or do you live in Kenya?'"
