Items related to My Traitor's Heart
The author is a South African, heir to 300 years of white rule, yet at the same time a man at odds with the "rockspider tyranny" of his Afrikaner people, a stranger in the South Africa they have created. This is the author's exploration of the horror that lies at the core of a society gone wrong. It is not about South African politics, or history, but about darkness, primordial passions, ecstasy, blood, violence, wraiths and demons in the white consciousness, and similar unspeakable things.

Review:
"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)

Hailed as a masterpiece around the world, this exploration of apartheid’s legacy is horrifying yet beautiful, harrowing yet hopeful.
