Brève description / annotation

Can Kalahari reveal the essence of post-apartheid South Africa through wit, irony, and vivid storytelling? Kalahari is a compilation of short stories set in the ever-changing environment of post-apartheid South Africa. Wojciech's irony and wicked sense of humor reveal the darker aspects of life. Authentic imagery and a sharp eye for observation - born of his own experiences - cross racial barriers and divisions to reach the essence. Kalahari gives us a sense of the timelessness and cultural richness of Albinski's prose. Wojciech Albinski shares with us his long African experience. He draws what he relates from his own fascinating life - which is why we believe him. The beautiful language and vivid style of this book enhance its value. - Ryszard Kapuscinski Wojciech Albinski debuted late, but astonishingly so, with a remarkably mature prose. Kalahari is a book sophisticated in form and rich in content. Full of valuable insights, it transports us to the antipodes, where the oceans meet the Cape of Good Hope and Table Mountain. - Marek Nowakowski
