Gifted travel writer, poet, professor of English, and insightful
observer of human nature, Colleen McElroy journeyed to Madagascar
to undertake a Fulbright research project exploring Malagasy oral
traditions and myths. In Over the Lip of the World she depicts with
equal verve the various storytelling traditions of the island and
her own adventures in trying to find and record them. McElroy's
tale of an African American woman's travels among the people of
Madagascar is told with wit, insight, and humor. Throughout it she
interweaves English translations of Malagasy stories of heroism and
morality, royalty and commoners, love and revenge, and the magic of
tricksters and shapechangers.
