Book desription: Readers International. Good. 1986. Softcover. 0930523202 . Reprint, 280 pages. Light edgewear, creasing to cover, small peeled area top corner. Interior has a small amount of pencil underlining and booksellers stamp on first page, a little age tanning to page edges. From Library Journal: The five stories in this fine first collection are set in the black South African township of Charterston, where the author himself grew up. Without sentimentality or redundant stridency, they depict the black struggle for survival and human dignity under the evils of apartheid. Ndebele's acute ear for dialogue and his eye for telling visual detail enable him to evoke township life with remarkable immediacy for the non-South African reader. He also has a special talent for portraying the complex relationships between children and adults. The novella-length title story "Fools" is the prize of the collection, but the four shorter pieces are also of high quality. Recommended for African and fiction collections.
