off to Harar, Ethiopia, because Rimbaud, a man who forsook the West, once lived there
history of area
hitched with nun, gets her story
Hararis distrusted foreigners - superstitious
pg 111: begins a tale - though confusing as to whether it's his or not - then we see it's Rimbaud's
he wanders in the town, sees a Sheik in a house, chews with him, visits the nun, meets a Red Cross worker
pg 121-2: Harar - hyena relationship
pg 124: he calls Harar the Anti-west - "nothing of home here" - he liked that: "Being in Africa was like being on a dark star."
