Turkana Boy
Turkana Boy relates Monsieur Bartoloméâe(tm)s sorrow following his young sonâe(tm)s mysterious disappearance. The title refers to the fossilized remains of a boy found near Lake Turkana, Kenya. Bartolomé sees in the lives of the boysâe"separated by nearly two million yearsâe"a kind of twin destiny. This surrealist narrative is punctuated with magnificent musings on the world and startling questions about what it means to be alive.
