Mary Gaitskill, Author of Veronica: “Agaat by Marlene van - TopicsExpress



          

Mary Gaitskill, Author of Veronica: “Agaat by Marlene van Niekerk is about an inter-racial adoption that takes a convoluted and heart-breaking form in Apartheid-era South Africa. It is about racial violence, intimate emotional violence, human violence against the natural world, pride, folly, self-deception and the piercing, profoundly mixed nature of human love. Betrayal, fidelity, innocence, shame, love and brute political will—in this book all are rendered with enormous power, and are equally and tragically real.” More here: elle/pop-culture/reviews/chick-lit-versus-lit-chicks-great-novel
