Learning Monkey and Crocodile
(2019)(The seventh book in the Harvester series)
A collection of stories by Nick Wood

Joining ancestral wisdom and transformative technologies, combining searing self-scrutiny with joyous awareness of the Other, Learning Monkey and Crocodile is a book for Africa and for all of us.”
Nick Gevers

“Wood’s characterization is excellent.” Strange Horizons
“This is a gut-puncher of a novel; original, brilliantly written, and a page-turner of note.” Sarah Lotz on Bridges
“Politically acute and powerful, with its heart in the right place... in many ways a ‘textbook story’, because it’s so well done.” Ian Watson on Bridges
Genre: Horror
