Meditations of a Non-White (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780987017864)

Short stories from a master of the form, this collection scrapes away superficial assumptions and brings to life a multitude of characters whose concerns have dominated post-1994 South Africa but are in many respects timeless; in particular, they probe the limitations of middle class norms and blinkered identities and grapple with the diverse experiences of the many millions living on the margins of privileged ghettoes.

Mixing satire with brutal realism, Kolski Horwitz dissects South African society with a keen and insightful eye.
