Krippendorf's tribe

Book • 1985
In 'Krippendorf's Tribe', Frank Parkin crafts a dark comedy that satirizes British society, academia, and the field of anthropology.

The story follows James Krippendorf, an unemployed anthropologist who, after misusing a grant meant for studying an Amazonian tribe, creates a fictional tribe based on his own children.

The novel explores themes of family dynamics, societal norms, and the blurring of lines between civilization and savagery.
