M Rules of the Wild, by Francesca Marciano. Vintage, 303 pp., $17.95 “Write what you know,” is a piece of advice often doled out to budding scribes. It is perhaps fitting, then, that first-time novelist Francesca Marciano — a Roman transplanted to Kenya — should write :bout an Italian living in Neirobi. Rules of the Wiid is the story of Esme, the daughter of a famed Neapolitan poet, and the division she feels between old world arid new. Esme lives in a colony of ° European expatriates called Karen — named after Dutch writer Karen Blixen — where everyone has servants but, in a self-conscious apologia for colonialism, feels a little sheepish about it: “Wilson must have gone for his nap in the ‘servants’ q:tarters. Don’t you hate the expression? How fudicrous, how Doctor Livingstone-I- presume.” Esme is continually torn between the crumbling old world and the raw landscape of Africa: marble statues ver- sus brightly plumed birds, flat lakes, and lions. She’s never quite sure where she belongs — or who with. Marciano’s debut will doubtless strike a chord in anyone who’s ever felt divid- ed loyalties to landscapes or lovers. As Teo, Esme’s broth- er, says: “It’s probably not good for humans to live in more than one place at 2 time: I - think we were designed to be territorial.” ;. performs in honour of 30 years of. ~ diplomatic relationship berween China and Canada and to promote awareness © of mmulicudsuralism.
