My Traitor's Heart Reviews

Rian Malan has written a tragic masterpiece and a classic of our time * Time Out *
My Traitor's Heart is a tremendous book about candour, honour and race, a witness-bearing act of the rarest courage. No one who reads it could ever forget it * Michael Herr *
A tortured, mesmerising attempt to capture exactly the conflicts of [Malan's] upbringing, conflicts that went to the soul of the emerging nation. * Guardian *
The remorseless exercise of a reporter's anguished conscience gives us a South Africa we thought we knew all about: but we knew nothing -- John Le Carre
A great swirling devil of a book and it is equal in every way to its vast subject - the black and white country of the heart -- Don DeLillo
