FROM THE PUBLISHER - Es'kia Mphahlele's 1988 publication RENEWAL TIME, contains stories he published previously as well as an autobiographical afterword on his return to South Africa and a section from AFRIKA MY MUSIC, his 1984 autobiography. Stories like Mrs. Plum' and The Living and the Dead' have received praise by critics reviewing Mphahlele's work. Charles R. Larson, reviewing the work in the Washington Post Book World, says that the stories in the book present almost ironic images of racial tension under apartheid.' He cites Mrs. Plum' as the gem of this volume.' The story is a first-person narrative by a black South African servant girl, and through her words, says Larson, Mphahlele creates the most devastating picture of a liberal South African white.'
