Roy Strang Is Engaged In A Strange Quest In A Surrealist South Africa. His Mission Is To Eradicate An Evil Predator-scavenger Bird, The Marabou Stork, Before It Drives Away The Peace-loving Flamingo From The Picturesque Lake Torto. But Behind This World Lies Another: The World Of Roy's Bizarre Family, The Scottish Housing Scheme In Which He Grew Up, His Mundane Job, A Disastrous Emigration To Africa, And His Youthful Life Of Brutality With A Gang Of Soccer Casuals. As One World Crashes Into The Other, This Potentially Charming Story Of Ornithological Goodwill Mutates Into A Filthy Tale Of Violence, Abuse And Redemption.
