Written as an act of rage, passion and reconciliation, Norman G. Kester's writings blur traditional boundaries of prose and poetry, richly interweaving memory, storytelling and history. Travelling in between foreign but not unknown places--worlds, asylums, dreams and shifting urban and natural landscapes, his words are haunting, lyrical and painfully raw. Through letters, stories, eloquent imaginings and essays, this memoir is uniquely South African. It simply asks the question: who am I?

A poetic tour de force of loss, hope and forgiveness, in which the poet reconciles his coloured family's anguished separation under apartheid and his maternal need to reclaim his lost African identity and emerging sexual desire. With a memorable foreword by South African Tseko Simon Nkoli.
