An african in greenland, paperback/tete-michel kpomassie

Tete-Michel Kpomassie was a teenager in Togo when he discovered a book about Greenland--and knew that he must go there.

Working his way north over nearly a decade, Kpomassie finally arrived in the country of his dreams.

This brilliantly observed and superbly entertaining record of his adventures among the Inuit is a testament both to the wonderful strangeness of the human species and to the surprising sympathies that bind us all.
