These seven short stories are rooted firmly in a particular era and place – Africa in the 1960’s and ’70’s – and are perhaps a new way for the author to share her passion for African ritual. The “mask” of the title story refers on one level to the masks the narrator comes to love and, finally, collect. On another level it refers to the masks all humans wear as they interact with each other, whether or not they are from different cultures.
