"The greatest Afrikaner poet of his generation."— The New Yorker Reminiscent of Julio Cortázar's Cronopios and Famas , this searing collection of lyrical and often nightmarish prose pieces is inventive in both language and vision. At once vulnerable, playful, heart-wrenching, and melancholy, these dreamscapes shed light on the human condition, exile, and death. A feast for the senses and the mind. Breyten Breytenbach is the author of All One Horse , Intimate Stranger , Mouroir , Voice A Nomadic Conversation with Mahmoud Darwish (Archipelago Books), The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist , A Season in Paradise , and Windcatcher , among many others. His honors include the Alan Paton Award, the Hertzog Prize, the Prix Max Jacob, and the Mahmoud Darwish Award.
