Review:
"A passionate and remarkably brave exhumation of loves, hates and friendships" -- Nicholas Shakespeare * Daily Telegraph * "Elegiac, angry and earnest" * Guardian * "Those who have never before opened one of Brink's books and wish to find him at his considerable best should at once read the first sixty pages of his autobiography" * Literary Review * "Brink's a brave man, oh yes, and this is an extraordinary book because it combines, uniquely, angry forensic polemic with writing of the highest order" * Irish Times * "Romanticism, often in the teeth of appalling oppression and tragedy, is the spirit which runs through A Fork in the Road" * Herald *

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu neuware, importqualität, auf lager - This is André Brink's story of a life lived in tumultuous times. He describes with searing honesty his conflicting experiences of growing up in a world where innocence was always surrounded by violence and storytelling was a means of reconciling the stark contrasts of his world. His time spent in Paris in the 1960s confirmed in him the desire to become a writer but his opposition to the apartheid establishment resulted in years of harassment by the South African secret police; it also led to extraordinary friendships with leaders of the ANC in exile. A Fork in the Road is André Brink's love song to the country where he was born and where, despite recent tragedies, he still lives today. Seller Inventory # INF1000320654
