«Una plaga de orugas» is Nigel Barley's anthropological chronicle, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (214 pages, in Spanish).
Nigel Barley returns to Cameroon to attend the circumcision of the young Dowayo, a rite of passage held only every six or seven years that he had missed on his previous trip. Amid waits, rumors about the Ninga tribe and unrecognizable acquaintances, Barley turns culture shock into an ironic chronicle.

For readers of travel writing and ethnography who appreciate humor and irony in cultural observation.
