Tous deux fraîchement diplômés de Princeton, John et Joe sont davantage affamés de littérature que de nourritures terrestres, et ils ont la ferme intention de tourner le dos à tout ce qu'on attend d'eux aux États-Unis : un mariage, un bon job, une visite hebdomadaire aux parents. Ainsi s'embarquent-ils pour un long voyage qui les mènera de Munich à Nairobi sur une moto BMW immaculée, baptisée en l'honneur du périple : le Nil Blanc. Objet littéraire singulier, ces carnets de voyage constituent un roman de formation itinérant. En même temps qu'ils arpentent champs de ruines gréco-romaines, villages de Bédouins ou capitales du tiers-monde, les deux amis font l'apprentissage de l'altérité, de la solitude, et, aussi, des inévitables désillusions au détour du chemin. L'opulente nature africaine est ici magnifiée sous une plume d'une fougue et d'une franchise irrésistibles qui ont le charme de ses vingt ans.
