Triomf – Marlene Van Niekerk

Description

Written with a wicked wit, “Triomf’s” microcosmic view of South Africa on the brink of disintegration illuminates a crystalline vision of the hypocrisies and hopelessness of a society living under the burden of apartheid. Marlene van Niekerk is a South African author who is best known for her novel Triomf. Her graphic and controversial descriptions of a poor Afrikaner family in Johannesburg brought her to the forefront of a post-apartheid society, still struggling to come to terms with all the changes in South Africa. In translation by Leon de Kock, this book was critically acclaimed in the US and UK, and was filmed in 2008.
