Out of Africa is not a work of fiction but a memoir of Karen Blixen's time managing a coffee plantation in Kenya.

skb, this thread began about the movie, not the book...

then it began to include the book and other books, as well...

then argo tried to make it about his verison of life in kenya and the surrounding region...

either movie or book, a memoir may include some undocumented facts, but it is by definition fiction, because it is only one persons memory of often long past events and individuals...

in 2015, i had the pleasant experience of visiting her home/estate....located in the south western portion of nairobi, the general area is known as the "karen district".

the movie was partially filmed in that house, which has many of it's original furnishings....so it's not fiction - unless you're an idiot.

best regards,
tom

No Edmund- it just as realism to a great piece of writing turned into a movie- you could say that about Hemingway's novel "For Whom The Bell Tolls"- and as a matter of fact, I think I will.RWTF
