Wilma Stockenström: The Expedition to the Baobab Tree

The Expedition to the Baobab Tree is a novella (sometimes classified as a novel) by the South African writer and poet Wilma Stockenström.

Originally published in Afrikaans, it is now available in translation (by none other than our old friend J. M. Coetzee) from Archipelago Books.

I could find very little information about the book, other than it is a poetic, visionary fable about a woman who abandons her home in order to dwell in a hollow baobab tree.
