After squandering his grant money, despondent and recently widowed anthropologist James Krippendorf must produce hard evidence of the existence of a heretofore undiscovered New Guinea tribe. Grass skirts, makeup, and staged rituals transform his three troubled children into the Shelmikedmu, a primitive culture whose habits enthrall scholars. But when a spiteful rival threatens to blow the whistle on Krippendorf's ruse, he gets into the act as well.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot summary for 'Krippendorf's Tribe' describes a story centered around anthropological fraud, family dynamics, and academic pressure in New Guinea. There is absolutely no mention of the Christmas season, associated events, or relevant themes within the provided synopsis. It does not meet any criteria for classification."
