Ah! The title. 鈥淎 Meeting in the Dark鈥�, sounds like a setup for secret rendezvous, a lover鈥檚 whispers, or maybe a horror movie, though, it鈥檚 far more than some romantic clich茅. The 鈥渄arkness鈥� is not just a missing bulb. It is moral, spiritual, and psychological. When John meets Wamuhu in the dark, the meeting is not only a secret but symbolic. A confrontation between tradition and colonial religion, between guilt and desire, and between two very different visions of heaven.
