- Synopsis
- This novel following a “hallucinatory spiritual odyssey in the Sahara by a pot-smoking black scholar . . . will stimulate adventurous souls” (Kirkus Reviews).Ulys O. Hanson, an African-American professor of the History of Slavery, who is in North Africa on a mysterious foundation grant, sets off across the Sahara on a series of wild adventures. He first meets Hamid, a mad Moroccan who turns him on, takes him over, and teaches him to pass as a Moor. Mya, the richest woman in creation, and her seventh husband, the hereditary Bishop of the Farout Islands, also cross his path with their plans to steal the Sahara and make the stoned professor the puppet Emperor of Africa. The Process is a unique literary journey from “an idiosyncratic and restless spiritual wanderer, a jack-of-all trades who made innovative contributions to poetry, prose and the visual arts” (Publishers Weekly).
