Produktbeschreibung

Originally published by Penguin Books, the work was nominated for a literary award in '94.

'A Remarkable Memoir'

"I am simply in awe of this little gem. The writing, the imagery, the feeling . . . it's all beautifully done. It isn't easy to know that such terrible things have been experienced by anyone, but it is the realization that someone can endure those things and emerge as a human being who can assimilate those things and emerge - not unscathed, not undamaged, but far from destroyed by them - that is truly remarkable. "

Ian Fraser's brutally frank autobiography of a turbulent childhood and life in the army under Apartheid was first published by Penguin Books in 1993. The work earned a CNA Literary Award nomination in 1994.

Quoting from the jacket of the print edition: 'Ian Fraser is a powerful voice in South African theater. Satire is his vehicle for the most part and he is probably best known for his one-man shows and his plays, which have gained him the respect and admiration of critics and public alike. He won the 1990 Vita Award for comedy and, in 1992, the Amstel Playwright of the Year Award. His plays have been performed widely around South Africa. This is his first book.'
