Robert Hellenga's 'Snakewoman of Little Egypt' mesmerizes. Updated: Jan. 12, , Enter Robert Hellenga, author of "The Sixteen Pleasures" and "Philosophy Made Simple.". Jackson Jones is trying to decide whether to remain an anthropology professor in his small Midwestern town, or to return to doing fieldwork among the Mbuti people, in their African Garden of Eden. His ruminations are interrupted by the arrival of a late friend's niece, who has just been sprung from. Snakewoman of Little Egypt delivers Robert Hellenga at the top of his form. 1 On his fortieth birthday - August 6, - Jackson Carter Jones, associate professor of anthropology at Thomas Ford University in west central Illinois, ate a poached egg for breakfast and then sat outside on the deck.
Hellenga does ample justice to this fabulous set-up in a well-written narrative that is both thoughtful and action-packed. His appealing protagonists have streaks of darkness that keep us unsettled. This may be Robert Hellenga's best novel since The Sixteen Pleasures. It centers around two interesting characters: an anthropologist who teaches at a small college in Illinois (surprise!) and, especially, the quirky, determined woman who comes into and upsets his life -- and hers as well. She's been serving a five-year sentence for shooting, but not killi. A novel packed with wit, substance, and emotional depth, Snakewoman of Little Egypt delivers Robert Hellenga at the top of his form. On the morning of her release from prison, Sunny, who grew up in a snakehandling church in the Little Egypt region of Southern Illinois, rents a garage apartment from Jackson.
