520 | 1 | |a "Tropic Moon is set in the early 1930s in French West Africa, where the promise of opportunity runs up against the stark realities of brutal racism and boundless corruption. A young Frenchman, Joseph Timar, travels to Gabon carrying a letter of introduction from an influential uncle. He wants work experience; he wants to see the world. It turns out, though, that no one in the tightknit colonial community has the least bit of use for him - except, that is, Adele, the hotel owner's wife, who takes him to bed one day and ignores him the next, leaving him sick with desire. But then, in the course of a couple of nights, a black servant is shot and Adele's husband dies. Timar is sure that Adele is implicated. If he holds his tongue, maybe she'll do his bidding. The fix is in. | |
