À propos de cet audio
There's a strange and wonderful event - the South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race - that each year draws pigeon fanciers to Johannesburg from around the globe. They're an odd, eccentric group, united only by their love of and obsession with their birds, who will fly more than 300 miles to complete the Million Dollar and then never race again.
In The Arc of the Sun, David Samuels goes to South Africa to travel along with the racers and their trainers, to learn about the millennia-old - and surprisingly emotional - history of the relationship between pigeons and humans, and to find himself, all while bouncing through the South African countryside with a flock of 2,000 birds and wrestling with the meaning of home in his own life.
