Product Description
Colin Turnbull was an anthropologist second in renown only to Margaret Mead, he was acclaimed for his groundbreaking study of the Central African Pygmies. But little has been known about his equally exotic personal life until now. A man of privilege and formidable education, Turnbull poured the full force of his personality into that of his lover of 30 years, a poor African-American named Joe. After Joe's death from AIDS in 1988, he renounced most of his friendships, gave away most of his money, and until his own death from AIDS in 1994, lived as a Buddhist monk.
