  • Losing The Plot – Crime, Reality And Fiction In Postapartheid Writing

    R350

    In Losing The Plot, well-known scholar and writer Leon de Kock offers a lively and wide-ranging analysis of postapartheid South African writing which, he contends, has morphed into a far more flexible and multifaceted entity than its predecessor. If postapartheid literature’s founding moment was the ‘transition’ to democracy, writing over the ensuing years has viewed the Mandelan project with increasing doubt. Instead, authors from all quarters are seen to be reporting, in different ways and from divergent points of view, on what is perceived to be a pathological public sphere in which the plot- the mapping and making of social betterment – appears to have been lost.

SADET has compiled and coordinated this remarkable book that weaves together the complex history of The Road to Democracy in South Africa.
