Publication of The Evolution of Charlie K published on August 2021. Actor Sebastian Abinieri reads the audio version now available on Audible, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify etc.
I'm really surprised this book isn't more talked about. This was such an insightful look into tribal life some sixty years ago in Papua New Guinea.
Themes of racism and prejudice that are still relevant today are portrayed without making it feel like a lesson.

A thoughtful and eye opening read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an interesting idea to pit an unworldly, if intelligent, native of Papua New Guinea against western civilisation as he experiences it in the U.S. The author writes with humour and humanity, and his likeable hero, Charlie K, despite many setbacks makes the best of the opportunities he is given.
