Summary: 2 Stars
unless you count the author's long-windedness, this story is nothing like the wind.If you're interested in the Bushmen, or if you're simply looking for a good read, you'd be far better served by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's _The_Harmless_People_ -- her account of actually living with Bushmen in the Kalahari in the early 1950s. (And the later editions include an epilogue, written in the 1980s, in which she has telling things to say about the film "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and other popular depictions of Bushmen culture.)
