Downard to the Earth, Robert Silverberg

A story of the human ex-governor of Belzagor revisiting a planet which has now been returned to the natives. He goes on an exploration of his past and the primitive order that has returned to the planet. This was a re-read. I remembered the plot twist from last time but enjoyed the book again. Silverberg is trying to say some things about humanity and primitive society. It's nothing that hasn't been said before though. I don't care though and it goes back on my shelves for the future.
