Exalted Infidel by David Colin

An insightful and challenging piece of exploratory prose, Exalted Infidel by David Colin explores the complexity of mankind through naturalistic observation. Celebrating and dissecting the diverse range of culture, religion, and beliefs across a swath of African nations, this epically penned road novella takes readers on an eye-opening philosophical journey. Though the content is rich with experience and research, the execution occasionally feels rushed, while the language is sometimes overly academic. The prose is engrossing overall, but can be weighed down by creative syntax, a plethora of adverbs, and some convoluted descriptions that aim to elevate the tone at the expense of clarity. That said, Colin immerses readers in dynamic and thought-provoking locations throughout, making this both an enlightening and entertaining work of philosophical fiction.
