The Lost Tribe in Edward Marriott’s account of a search in Papua New Guinea
is not very lost, after all. In this book (Picador, £15.99, ISBN 0 330
33619 3), he finds the Liawep in little more than a week and discovers a
missionary already there. Less a trip back to the Stone Age than a last rerun of
those 19th-century encounters between Christian zealots and dark-skinned
animists.
