⁠
We're excited to finally show you an advance paperback of Christopher Davenport's upcoming travel memoir, THE TIN CAN CRUCIBLE 🍃⁠
⁠
This insightful read tells the moving true story of Christopher's time spent living with a family of subsistence farmers in Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands region during his time as a Peace Corps volunteer. It beautifully details his experience of settling into village life, learning the language and developing a strong sense of connection with his inherited family. That is, until the villagers kidnap, torture, and ultimately kill a local woman accused of sorcery. ⁠
⁠
Devastated, Christopher gives this considerate but courageously honest depiction of his transformative experience. He asks difficult questions about the role of philanthropy in the intersection of cultures and the mutability of human virtue whilst questioning the integrity of his own well-intended pilgrimage. The result is this sweeping account of grief, empathy and the complex mechanisms of humanity.⁠
⁠
If you're interested in learning about life and culture in Papua New Guinea, this fascinating and thoughtful read is a great place to start.⁠
