505 0 $aOne quiet evening, somewhere in the old South Africa, the settled existence of Mr and Mrs Malgas is disrupted by the arrival on the plot next door of a stranger with a Plan, in which his neighbours are bound to play a part. As the old order around them convulses at a discreet distance, Nieuwenhuizen hatches a scheme for creating something new. Propped up and undermined by the equivocal language in which they are cast, and feeling the ground shifting beneath them, this unlikely trio doggedly explore the mechanisms of construction and destruction.
