...Discontents. The plot had been brewing for a year or more, and the plotters cut across Ethiopia's educated elite. In on the game, tacitly or actively, were Cabinet ministers, top bureaucrats, army colonels, students returning from studies abroad. They came from the class that Haile Selassie must count on to help bring Ethiopia into the modern world-but it is just this group that is most repelled by the trappings of a feudal monarchy.

He has a knack for sketching and, still in his middle teens, decides to become an artist. The rest of the vast novel is his own rambling, episodic, thoughtful account of his struggles to learn how to paint. Keller is no sentimentalist, but his narration is cluttered with most of the furniture of the sentimental novel-the childhood love who dies of consumption, the mother who starves herself...
