Description

Originally commissioned by the cultural arm of the Danish anti-apartheid movement, this anthology features a collection of dynamic and original pieces. It is edited by Chris van Wyk, who is both a well known poet and writer of short fiction and is well qualified to attract a diverse, rich range of stories from some of the foremost practitioners of short fiction in South Africa. 

The stories cover the first postliberation decade and reflect the anxieties and traumas that we still carry as a consequence of past brutality and exclusion. 

Yet despite the ongoing trauma the stories also reflect the powers of endurance and fortitude that maintain the cohesion of a still divided society.
