Notes From The Middle World by Breyten Breytenbach
In dialogue with the dead and living - Nelson Mandela, Mahmoud Darwish, Barack Obama - internationally distinguished South African artist and writer Breyten Breytenbach's new collection of essays traces the collisions between utopia and disaster, political traumas and the renewal of hope.
Praise for Breytenbach's Return to Paradise: "This wonderful book is written with a wild heart and an unrelenting eye, and is fueled by the sort of rage that produces great literature" --The Washington Post "Protean, funny, bitchy, beautifully written and searingly bleak . . . As in all of Mr. Breytenbach's writing, the lyrical pleasures here are intense." --The New York Times Book Review
