Description
The reader is transported to the Johannesburg and Maputo of the 1980's; where wars of varying violences erupt and conjure the edgy, war-torn world of the film Casablanca. Adair's writing is brutally funny, witty and unnervingly erotic. This novel breaks new ground in the relatively unexplored territory of the South African post-modern novel, where the characters talk to the narrator about their uncertain destiny.
Set amidst erupting violence and an edgy, war-torn Johannesburg, South Africa, in the 1980s, this brutally witty and unnervingly erotic postmodern novel explores destiny's uncertainties.
