Store up the anger

Description:

This is a painful account of the death of Sam Bhengu, a young black in South Africa – and a powerful, eloquent testimony to the man’s struggle against anonymity and defeat. Lying in a prison cell, Sam’s injured brain flashes his life before him in a series of violent, sad and lyrical episodes. And, as the past begins to gain on the present, the reader finds his own stored anger vented on this terrible betrayal of our humanity. ‘He grips like a vice’- Guardian ‘I was completely caught by it’ – Sunday Times ‘A story of hope and triumph … Store Up the Anger brings South African literature to its boldest point’ – Chicago Tribune Book World
