"Goodbye Africa" edition by Desmond Bishop Literature Fiction eBooks
“Goodbye, Africa” is an autobiographical novel about three countries, well written, with some marvellously evocative stories about African wildlife. The use of time is original and non-chronological which I enjoyed but the lengthy writing about amateur dramatics didn’t engage me but would certainly be of interest to any reader involved with theatre. The book lends itself to being filmed and has great potential. A well-deserved four-starrer.Product details

"Goodbye Africa" edition by Desmond Bishop Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was privileged to review an advanced copy of this book by Desmond Bishop. I found it an excellent read, full of interesting anecdotes family , political,geographical & wilderness. So much...it encompasses many intriguing facets of life.
I read Goodbye Africa shortly after watching the 2010 World Cup hosted by South Africa and noted there were no vuvuzelas blaring in the background. For Bishop's book is on the side of art, drama in particular, and not sport. It is an excellent and very engaging account of his life and struggles for his art in colonial and post colonial Africa, in particular South Africa, Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) and Zimbabwe. That Raymond Spencer is the Desmond Bishop is apparent from the outset with a news story featuring his trouble in the infant South African TV (SABC-TV) for his subtle critique of apartheid, albeit even in children's television. His opposition to apartheid shows over the years of his artistic development and his departure from Africa on a few occasions resulted from it.
This autobiography is an African version of "the portrait of the artist as a young man" and well worth the read. I googled Desmond Bishop and got many returns for Desmond Bishop Tutu who I'm sure would also read and approve of Goodbye Africa, the old Africa of colonialism and apartheid. Get your copy now!
