Seller's Description:
Good jacket. New York. 1987. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0374172846. 217 pages. hardcover. Jacket art by Michael Munday. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION-The Hottentot Room is a club in London where Caleb Looper, a deported South African journalist, meets his fellow exiles. Black and white, famous and indigent, communist and traditionalist, ‘the tribe' are an extremely odd lot, bound together by their nostalgia for their homeland and their loyalty to the Room's proprietor, Frau Katie, a Jewish refugee from Hitler's Germany, who has made it her life's mission to provide a home for these lost South African souls. Frau Katie's daughter, known as English Rose, despises her mother's fierce nostalgia for her prewar German life and her refusal to accept the present. Now Frau Katie is dying, and Rose has expansionist plans for the Hottentot Room, plans which include Looper, with whom she has been having a secret affair, but which terrify the other members of the club. And Looper, too, is at a desperate turning point. Christopher Hope's engaging comic fantasy about South Africans-and others-awash in the tides of history bristles with ironies, contradictions, reversals, and telling lessons about racial and political identity. The Hottentot Room has been widely praised by English critics: ‘A rich and complex novel' (London Magazine); ‘memorably poignant and ironic' (Sunday Telegraph); ‘sparks of boisterous, caustic satire in all directions' (The Observer). This is a dark and riotous hallucinatory vision of unreal but actual absurdities by one of South Africa's most gifted writers. inventory #27990.
