Too Huge World is certainly immersing himself significantly within the “Sudanese experience”:

“Even the monkey is like a gazelle in his mother’s eyes.”

To be called a monkey is an insult, as you might expect; a gazelle is a symbol of female beauty, most especially for its eyes and its nimble form.

Well, it’s kinda like saying “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”… so yeah, to a mother, her son or daughter is never a monkey.
