Banned for many years in the author's native South Africa, Looking on Darkness tells the story of actor Joseph Malan as he awaits execution for the murder of his white lover.

From three time winner of South Africa's most prestigious literary prize, the CNA Award.

"Peter Carey, García Márquez, Alexander Solzhenitsyn: André Brink must be considered with that class of writer" (The Guardian)
"Strikingly effective" (The Times)
"A brutal, harrowing, desperately sincere piece of writing" (Sunday Times)
Book Description
'A brave and important novel, and in any terms a fine one - linguistically exciting, continually perceptive about society gone mad, [and] fiercely angry about cruelty' - Times Literary Supplement
