The Reluctant Playwright by W. P. B. Botha
This is a novel that captures life in South Africa -fragmented, confused, violent-yet challenges the idea that power lies only with the forces of oppression. It's the story of Seamus Doyle, who rejects his Irish Catholic past and resettles in a remote Transkei village. A bruised cynic, he attempts to detach himself from the drama in South Africa. But for how long?
