| adam_text | A tour de
the Man Booker Prize and the IMPAC-
Dublin Literary Award, Bitter Fruit confirms
Achmat Dangor as a brave and utterly singular
voice in the new generation of South African
writers. Published to international acclaim, it
is a clear-eyed, witty, boisterous, yet deeply
serious look at South Africa s political history
and its damaging legacy in the lives of those
who live there.
The last time Silas
Du
van and the lieutenant was conducting a vicious
assault on Silas s wife,
husbands participation in Nelson Mandela s
African National Congress. When Silas sees
Boise again, by chance, twenty years later, as the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission is due to
deliver its report, crimes from the past erupt into
the present, splintering the
mind. Meanwhile Silas and
thoroughly contemporary young hip-hop
lothario, contends in unforeseen ways with his
parents activist pasts.
A harrowing tale of a brittle family on the
crossroads of history, the story of a son coming to
terms with his parents secrets, and a fearless
skewering of the pieties of revolutionary move¬
ments, Bitter Fruit is a cautionary tale of how we
do, or do not, address the past s deepest wounds.
ACHMAT DANGOR was
in Johannesburg. Like most South Africans of his
generation, he was drawn into politics, working
with organizations like the Kagiso (Peace) Trust,
set up by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other
opposition leaders to aid political prisoners
and their families. He has also ran the Nelson
Mandela Children s Fund and is currently
Director of Advocacy and Communications at
UNAIDS. He is the author of Kafta s Curse.
Achmat Dangor lives in Geneva, Switzerland.
