In his early years, growing up on a Dutch farm in the deep interior of the southern African Cape, Cupido Cockroach became the greatest drinker, liar, fornicator & fighter of his region. Coming under the spell of a woman, the soap-boiler Anna, & the great Dr Johannes Theodorus van der Kemp of the London Missionary Society, Cupido is then made the first Khoi or ` Hottentot` missionary ordained at the Cape of Good Hope. Received into the fold of the Church, Cupido passionately turns against all his early beliefs & is appointed as missionary in a remote & arid region in the North-western Cape. But this also marks the beginning of his decline, as the Society abandons him to his fate. One by one, the members of his congregation disappear into the desert, so that in the end, abandoned even by his wife & children, he is left to preach to the stones & thorn trees & tortoises, returning to the dream-world of his people. ...
