Features eighteen contemporary short stories that take the reader on a journey through South Africa's literary landscape, exploring Africa's most popular travel destination. This book, divided into three areas of South Africa - Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape - also includes game parks, farms and even mines.
Including short stories from some of South Africa's best and most renowned writers (Nadine Gordimer, J.M. Coetzee, and Alan Paton, to name only a few), this collection accompanies readers to a recent, but altogether different South Africa, reflecting perspectives of both the oppressed and the oppressors. Some of the stories are previously unpublished, but all of them constitute examples of the most imaginative and provocative South African writing, from many disparate perspectives.
