Walk in the Night and Other Stories
Few days ago we lost a great man who sacrificed and made his utmost efforts to help achieve the freedom and liberation of a whole black nation in South Africa, without mentioning his name, I do believe most of you realize that I'm talking about the late Nelson Mandela. Given that I live in Africa, the continent, I noticed that my knowledge about its Literature is very limited. For that reason, I decided to read a variety of works from east west north and south Africa.
A Walk in The Night and Other Stories was written by the South African Alex La Guma. With his vivid realistic description of the people, the slums and the city of Cape Town, you will be caught up in that tragic dark world, live and sense it as well. Within the book, Alex tackles the issue of racism, Apartheid,violence, poverty and other social problems the people of South Africa suffered from for decades.
