Description
Dan Collins, a U.S. State Department officer, is the main character in all of these short stories. Working in Sarawak, western Borneo in the 1960s, Collins gets caught up in local tribal politics, the conflicts between the Muslim Malays, Chinese merchants, Iban headhunters, the few British colonial officers still remaining in the country and Collins's superiors at the U.S. Agency for International Development. Patricia Holt wore in the San Francisco Chronicle, "“I don’t think there has ever been a book quite like The Day Nothing Happened by San Francisco writer Terence Clarke. . . At first one-dimensional, then full of complexity, finally rich in texture and meaning, The Day Nothing Happened parallels the growth of its protagonist in both style and content. Reading it is a memorable experience.”
