Chhalang

An astounding collection of personal and political stories set in varied locales and cultures. In this collection of sixteen stories Gordimer brings unforgettable characters from every corner of society to life: a child refugee fleeing civil war in Mozambique; a black activist's deserted wife longing for better times; a rich safari party indulging themselves while lionesses circle their lodge. Chhalang is a vivid disturbing and rewarding portrait of life in South Africa under apartheid.
