      About This Book

      Twenty five years ago, T.C. Boyle published his first novel, Water Musicâ€"a funny, bawdy, extremely entertaining novel of imaginative and stylistic fancy that announced to the world Boyle's tremendous gifts as a storyteller. Set in the late eighteenth century, Water Music follows the wild adventures of Ned Rise, thief and whoremaster, and Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, through London's seamy gutters and Scotland's scenic highlandsâ€"to their grand meeting in the heart of darkest Africa. There they join forces and wend their hilarious way to the source of the Niger.
