An Israeli professor travels to an imaginary West African nation to trace a slavetrading ancestor, only to be imprisoned under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. But before departing from Tel Aviv, the protagonist falls in love with Lucile, a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Entertaining and thoughtprovoking, this satire of contemporary attitudes toward racism and the legacy of colonialism examines economic inequality and the global refugee crisis, as well as the memory of transatlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professors passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and the book hes secretly writing about his experience there nothing but a modern version of the slave trade?
