Nubian Prince Book

Oh my goodness...I've never read a book quite as disturbing as this before...both horrific and damn funny about a subject that even the book jacket says "is immune to humor" I'm gonna have to think about this for a minute before assigning stars or writing a review or even deciding if I liked it. Rhetorical question:..can you give a book 5 stars for its truly unique subject and treatment and still not "like" it?

OK..I'm gonna be thinking about this piece of trash for a very long time...How T.. F... can you make sex slavery funny? Whats rational about immigrant, including children, sexual exploitation? Not much. But what if the alternative is death or life long imprisonment and torture?

After buying into the absurdity of an NGO that had the mission of bringing a smile to the resident children of Bolivia's garbage dumps though clowns and puppetry and realizing the the true purpose of the protagonist was to save them by selling them into slavery I literally felt ill and tossed the book aside. But I realized that no author would waste the first 50 pages setting up a comedic premise only to wallow in smut for the rest of the 200..so I read on. Somehow the protagonist...the tale is told from a "coyote" point of view..he is "saving" people and the rationalization of the sex industry actually becomes plausible and through the course of the book Western hypocrisy is indicted, A hypocrisy which commodifies sex, even of children, on a much grander scale. The protagonist never gets redeemed, the exploited never get to be in control, the powers that be never get a comeuppance. Just like life.

I would recommend this book to no one. I would recommend this book to every one. Don't blame me.


If this bit of fiction is anywhere near what goes on in the African immigrant communities in Western Europe and by projection the North American ones....lets hope we are not judged by the blind eye we turn

Bonilla si conferma un ottimo scrittore. Libro crudo e avvincente
