Description:
This volume brings together the most significant essays on South African literature by the distinguished critic Graham Pechey, who died in 2016. They combine an acute sense of the historical and geopolitical situation of South African writing before, during, and after apartheid with a sensitive ear to literary detail.

Review Quotes:
"This is a richly rewarding volume that confirms Graham Pechey's status as brilliant critic, thoughtful cultural commentator, and erudite literary historian. The editors have done us a great service in bringing to publication a range of essays -- written across nearly three decades -- that prove a fitting memorial, and will introduce Pechey's work to the wide readership it deserves."
