A white South African, Jewish and bisexual, takes refuge in his London mansion with his liberal English wife, tired of hiding from AIDS, apartheid and anti-Semitism. Between vodka, sex and cocaine, his encounter with another white South African drags him into a wilder world. A moving satire on fleeing from oneself.
The novel was originally published in 1991 by Chatto & Windus; this Penguin Books edition dates from May 7, 1992.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking portraits of identity, exile and social conflicts with a satirical tone.
Sir Antony Sher was a British actor, writer and theatre director of South African origin. A two-time Laurence Olivier Award winner and a five-time nominee, he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1982 and toured in many roles, as well as appearing on film and television. In 2001, he starred in his cousin Ronald Harwood's play Mahler's Conversion and said that the story of a composer sacrificing his faith for his career echoed his own identity struggles.
