Inspiring and thought provoking
I read a Man Cannot Cry when it was first published about 15 years ago. It's the story of Than Profane an "All American" aethiest Doctor working in Los Angeles who travels to Africa to his estranged Quaker missionary father's death bed. Following the death of his father the mission is desperate for a doctor and Than Profane reluctantly agrees to stay while they find a replacement. The book follows his own journey of enlightenment and portrays a 1960's Africa on every level, with stunning clarity. It's just a great shame that this has never been made into a film as it would surely be a blockbuster hit!
