Discovering Fire – David Robbins

Description

Published by Porcupine., Johannesburg (2005)

270 pages

All the stories in Discovering Fire explore the relationship between public event and private consequence in South Africa’s tumultuous past. Against backdrops ranging from Sharpeville in the 1960s to the bloody realities of the 1980s and beyond, characters respond to each other in ways that are indelibly marked by their responses to the troubled and often violent world in which they find themselves.
