A remarkable quasi-anthropoligcal narrative by a French photographer-author who nearly got himself and his three photographer companions killed when trying to photograph the sacred practices of the African Toma tribe in the wilds of Guinea. The Toma's sacred rites included fetishism, savage male and female initiations (brutal clitoridectomy, too), and other often repugnant practices.
