Opis

'Bitter Fruit' is set in a changing South Africa at the end of the nineties as the Truth Commission is finishing its work. It prises open the remnants of a painful political history, and fearlessly explores the myths of sexual and racial identity.

Recenzje

'The unremitting intensity of Dangor's focus is just as notable as its depth.' Independent on Sunday
