“The Elusive Baboon” – Reading and Book Signing by Jennifer Jolly – Thursday, Dec. 7th at 6.30 pm
Jennifer Jolly was a naïve young woman when she, her primatologist husband and small daughter traveled to newly independent Uganda. She recounts the challenges of adapting to an expatriate lifestyle, and the problems and pleasures of conducting ground breaking field-work on wild baboons while camping out close, sometimes too close to elephants, buffalo, and hippos, experiencing unfamiliar cultures, and enjoying exotic vegetation, spectacular mountains and lakes, while undergoing a difficult pregnancy. When civil war erupted she memorably survived a complicated delivery in a hospital under siege.
Returning to Uganda five years later, the family lived in a spectacularly situated but decaying rest house overlooking the Budongo forest and experienced the descent of the country into the murderous years of Idi Amin. Braving the unfamiliar, sometimes terrified of being shot, but never bored, she comes through with her sense of humor intact.
