<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Based on the article 'The ivory highway,' by Damon Tabor, Men's Journal, February 13, 2014"--Acknowledgment<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"A beautiful, endlessly echoing portrait of a murder and its afterlife. Ms. Nottage shaped this story with such theatrical inventiveness and discipline that it never feels sensational... A finely wrought fusion of elements." --Ben Brantley, <em>New York Times</em></p> <p>Continuing in her tradition of crafting thought-provoking, socially conscious dramas, Lynn Nottage's play tells the story of Mlima, an elephant struck down by poachers for his magnificent tusks. Beginning in a game park in Kenya, the play tracks the trajectory of Mlima's tusks through the ivory trade market while Mlima's ghost follows close behind--marking all those complicit in his barbaric death.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>Mlima's Tale</em>, a haunting drama about avarice and ivory, offers a dramatic reminder that the majestic beasts endure things no living creature would want to recall...
