Equatoria, a playful but eminently serious book, is both travelogue and cultural critique. On the right-hand pages, the Prices chronicle their 1990 artifact-collecting expedition into the rain forest of French Guiana, and on the left, stage an accompanying sideshow that enlists the help of Jonathan Swift, Joseph Conrad, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Alex Haley, James Clifford, Eric Hobsbawm, and Germaine Greer, as well as nurses, doctors, tourists, convicts, and countless others who live in the French penal colony turned space center in tropical South America.
