These short stories are inspired by his experiences during his thirteen years in the rainforest. Struggling through an arduous trek, two comrades pine for each other but don’t know how to declare their love; a woman who has annoyed all her comrades finally wins their approval when she finds a mythical mousedeer; improvising around the lack of ingredients, a perpetually hungry guerrilla makes delicious cakes from cassava and elephant fat. The rainforest may be a dangerous place where death awaits, but so do love, desire and hope. ‘Delicious Hunger’ is a book about the moments in and between warfare, when hunger is so palpable it can be tasted, and the natural world becomes an extension of the body.
