Klassiek reeks: Kennis van die aand | General Fiction

André P. Brink

When this novel by Brink was banned in the seventies, it created a furore. The novel is the life-story of the talented brown actor Josef Malan, whose love for a white woman in the apartheid years leads to tragedy. Josef writes his story from the condemned cell. “A fierce and uncompromising indictment of white repression.” wrote Jan Rabie and “Seldom, if anywhere, in our literature has the true agony of our society been presented with such power and understanding,” wrote Jack Cope at the time of its publication.
