Signed by the Author. keywords: Literature South Africa Afrikaans. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘There lies a peculiar satisfaction in countering the tactics of secrecy with exposure: the dark fears nothing quite so much as light. This in itself is a justification for writing, and for continuing to write. '-AndrE Brink. AndrE Brink, South Africa's internationally acclaimed writer, author of such highly praised novels as Looking on Darkness Rumours of Rain, A Dry White Season and A Chain of Voices, has known what it means to have one's very existence threatened. As one of the leading voices in the chorus of dissent in South Africa, he has often had his novels of black hope and white repression suppressed in his native land. Still Brink survives, stays in South Africa, and is a living rebuke to the apartheid policies of that nation. AndrE Brink has often been forced, therefore, to confront the issues that appear at the crossroads of literature and politics and has written about them extensively. His nonfiction writings are collected here for the first time. And it is here, too, that Brink addresses himself to the question of his own place-a writer's place in a society that is among the most explosive of the late twentieth century. In selecting essays to be included in this book he found that ‘a world where more and more violence is solving fewer and fewer problems makes the writer not less, but more necessary! ' Says Brink: ‘In the truth embedded in the writer's word lies that ineffable power feared so much by tyrants and tyrannies and other agents of death that they are prepared to stake everything they have against it. For they know only too well that no strategy or system can ever finally resist the word of truth. ' Writing in a State of Siege is a major statement by a major writer on the necessity of speaking out without restraint. This remarkable volume includes such essays as ‘The Freedom to Publish, ' ‘The Language of Culture, ' ‘Censorship and Literature, ' and the title essay, ‘The Writer in a State of Siege. ' Like AndrE Brink's novels, Writing in a State of Siege offers the rarest insights into the moral dilemmas of living not only in South Africa but anywhere in the modern world. inventory #15851.
