Book description
For Rian Malan, the blessing of living in South Africa is that
every day presents him with material whose richness astounds those who
live in saner places. Twenty years after the publication of his
bestseller My Traitor's Heart, he is still strongly committed to the
struggle against suffocating political rectitude. Malan eviscerates
politicians, provokes rabid fury in Aids activists, pursues justice in
the music industry, and exults in the company of an extraordinary cast
of characters from truckers to tycoons.
Rian Malan has worked as a journalist in South Africa and the
United States. My Traitor's Heart was his first book. He lives in
South Africa.
