About This Item
London, United Kingdom: Faber and Faber, 1989 UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF BOUND COPY for the cased edition. Prepublication first edition. [Probable publication date: 3 July 1989.] 340pp. Clean text pages, no internal markings. Novel set in the near future, by one of the leading white opponents of apartheid in South Africa, who was imprisoned for seven years for terrorism. Widely recognized as South Africa's finest Afrikaner poet, Breytenbach is also a distinguished novelist and artist. He has been awarded numerous prizes (literary and artistic) over his writing career (ie the APB literary prize in 1965; Hertzog Prize for Poetry in 1984, 1999, 2008; and Allan Paton Award for Literature). The Companion to African Literatures describes his writings as "marked by a combination of Kafkaesque skepticism and a celebration of life; images connect surreal worlds to the harsh and brutal realities of apartheid, magical realism to critical realism". This title is now out of print.
