Om In the Fog of the Seasons' End

Written from Alex La Guma's first-hand experiences in apartheid South Africa, In the Fog of the Seasons' End is a short but powerful novel, unflinching in its depiction of the day-to-day realities of segregation and the secret underground movement that fought against it. For Beukes and Elia, undercover protestors of apartheid, every day holds the threat of discovery and imprisonment. With the threat of torture hanging over their heads, every leaflet, every phone call, every outspoken word puts them closer to capture. As the stakes get impossibly high, the only thing holding them together is their refusal to submit to the regime - but even that is proving more difficult by the day. An intense and well-crafted plot, Alex La Guma unravels the truth behind the underground anti-apartheid movement. 'The greatest South African novelist of the 20th century.' The Times 'His spirit of hope lives on in the books he left us. He is a central figure alongside Chinua Achebe.' Ngugi wa Thiong'o
