Cannibal translators

What has driven Margaret Marks to cook and, presumably, eat Indians? Since Ms Marks has quite clearly gone native, I suspect this of being some bizarre offshoot of Central Europe’s Orientalist anti-Tarzan industry:

In Germany after World War I, Tarzan’s sales were so vast that a disgruntled local publisher printed a counter-Tarzan tract called Tarzan Eats Germans.

Canadian translators are also going hungry, so we may be approaching payback time for the Indians (Greater India, right?) who cannibalised Spaniards in the Black Legend illustrations of Theodor de Bry.

(South America is being eaten by trees, says Paterna (top right).)
