My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

[Vain]

An excerpt:

All kinds of snakes, centipedes and flies were living on every part of his body. Bees, wasps and uncountable mosquitoes were also flying round him and it was hard to see him plainly because of these flies and insects. But immediately this dreadful ghost came inside this house from heaven-knows-where his smell and also the smell of his body first drove us to a long distance before we came back after a few minutes, but still the smell did not let every one of the settlers stand still as all his body was full of excreta, urine, and also wet with the rotten blood of all the animals that he was killing for his food. His mouth which was always opening, his nose and eyes were very hard to look at as they were very dirty and smelling. His name is “Smelling-ghost”. But what made me surprised and fear most was that this “smelling-ghost” wore many scorpions on his finger as rings and all were alive, many poisonous snakes were also on his neck as beads and he belted hiis leathern trousers with a very big and long boa constrictor which was still alive.

I need to read this book I think.

I'm pretty sure there's a perverted joke in that title.

I owned the byrne/eno tape way back in the 80's sometime, and somehow never even knew there was a book by the same title.

Yes it took me by surprise as well. What was even more surprising was that on relistening to the CD, there's only two tracks I like....maybe I need to have a few more listens

FnF: I used to say that a bird in the bush was worth way more than two in the hand
