Academic anthropologist Stan Binstead is headed off to East
Africa on sabbatical. Adulterous by nature, he's irked when his
wife Millie asks to accompany him. But as the couple pass through
London the balance of power in their marriage begins, strangely, to
shift - a transformation that becomes yet more pronounced on
safari.
Sometimes considered by critics as a variation on the themes of
Hemingway's 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macombe', "Binstead's
Safari" was first published in 1983.
'The tone of the novel deepens into a psychological study of
these two people and the subtle and complex ways in which the
exotic environment works upon each of them... Ingalls' style
maintains the wry grace of a sophisticated romance, a control
guaranteeing that the denouement will not only be inevitable but
astonishing.' Elaine Kendall, "Los Angeles"" Times"
