—
Palestinian poet
Mahmoud Darwish,
Nelson Mandela,
Barack
Obama
—
internationally distinguished South African
artist, activist, and writer Breyten Breytenbach's new collection
of essays traces the collisions among
utopia
and disaster,
political trauma, and the renewal of hope.
Notes from the Middle World is a beautiful and heart-wrenching
book. Against the conformity of power, Breytenbach takes
readers on a journey through the "Middle World," an imagined
space beyond borders and exile, toward an embracing vision
of justice tor the "un-citizens" post-modernity has dispossessed.
"it is impossible to stop our ears against the excruciating power of
uhat
Breytenbach has to say."
"Hreytenhaeh's
passionate destre
to know and serve the truth, whatever it
may be and whoever it may offend, is deeply admirable."

Tb
"(
)hnously the greatest Afrikaner poet of this generation
.
.Vu
one elevated
the Boer language to such pure beauty and no one wielded ¡t so devastating^
against the apartheid regime as its exiled poet Breyten Breytenbach."
".Vu
white Soua African
unter
has penetrated as deeply into his mm
country as Breytenbach
—
and
tane
has been as successful in the (towering
of his art

exite."
