A man in post-apartheid South Africa grapples with identity, crime, and secrecy in a tense, psychological tale.
About
Details
From The Washington Post's Book World/washingtonpost.com The South Africa in post-apartheid novels of writers such as J.M. Coetzee is populated by disillusioned idealists, corrupt schemers and covert racists; it is a world where the average white man occupies a tenuous place. Firmly entrenched in this tradition arrives Damon Galgut's new novel, The Impostor, the author's follow-up to The Good Doctor, which was short-listed for the Booker Prize in 2003.
