This volume, the first ethnographic novel, is a response to questions such as: Is anthropology an art or a science? Is interpretation more truthful than objective recording? Are thick description and anthropology with plot more valuable in understanding other peoples' lives than scientific accounts purged of humanity and overladen with theory?
