Lion Country was written in 1971, and was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction in 1972. Lion Country is written in the first person. The narrator, Antonio Parr, is a writer who attempts a piece of investigative journalism. Parr tries to expose Leo Bebb, a clergyman who runs a diploma mill, as a con-man. Parr becomes friends with Bebb, however, and marries Bebb's daughter. The title of the novel comes from the Lion Country Safari, which is featured in the book. Cynthia Ozick calls Lion Country and its sequel, Open Heart, "God-hungry comic novels speckled with dying and laughter."[1]References1. ^Cited in [https://www.nytimes.com/1984/09/30/books/new-noteworthy.html New & Noteworthy], New York Times, September 30, 1984. {{1970s-novel-stub}} 1 : 1971 novels |
