Description

Rifles in the corner, empire at the table. Buchan’s Lodge in the Wilderness is Francis Carey’s African symposium in unabridged English — progress, rule, civilisation argued over maps while the bush does not care who is right. Not a shoot-’em-up: talk as adventure, khaki as a creed, dated confidence, a living unease. Listen to ideas with a veranda, and a wilderness as judge. A hunting lodge, a creed of empire, guests who will not stop testing the future.
