Mr. Fortune' S Maggot (New York Review Books Classics) Book
In Mr. Fortune's Maggot, a missionary travels to a remote Pacific island, Fanua, to convert the natives, only to undergo a conversion of his own. As Mr. Fortune develops a deep love for the young boy Leuli, he loses his religious faith. A maggot is a whimsical, humorous tale, and all of Sylvia Townsend Warner's characteristic quiet wit is evident here. The Salutation, an included novella, describes Mr. Fortune's later adventures in the Brazilian grasslands. Destitute and adrift, he is taken in by an elderly widow. Still, he remains so wracked by guilt over Leuli's attempted suicide that he is compelled to continue his aimless wanderings.Read More
