Publisher's Synopsis
Dust and mud is a collection of original writing and Namibian folk stories. The authors capture the stillness of 'African time' and the grandeur of space that can be found in this new nation. Travel through Namibia on backroads. Watch the moon rise over the Brandberg, as the stars of the southern hemisphere reflect the fires of Namibian villages. Explore harsh, open landscapes. And, draw inspiration from people who are not the subject of postcards, but who literally scratch out a living amid rocks, sand, and dust in this arid country. You are invited to discover, through the authors' eyes, the Namibia that is seen by few tourists. You, too, may find yourself wanting to linger along the road to Maltahöhe or return to a farm community on the edge of the Namib desert.
