Paperback. Condition: Good. Set in Ward 22 during the Angola Bush War that raged from 1966 to 1989 in South-west Africa, with evocative realism, Moffie transports the reader into the world of a young gay conscript ironically defending a regime that actively supresses his identity. Nicholas van der Swart has always known he is different. Unable to live up to the expectations his family, his heritage and his culture have of him, he grows increasingly diffident and introverted. When, at the age of 19, he is conscripted into the South African army, he enters a world that is utterly at odds with his every sensibility. Here, he will face the scorn and violence of his tormenters, but will also find the strength to survive. Although the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa has gone a long way toward exposing and exorcising some of the atrocities committed in the name of Apartheid, very little has been revealed about the adversities faced by gays under the regime. At turns heart wrenching and humorous, told with great sensitivity and infused with hope, Moffie is a long overdue account of a vital subject, place and time.…

Paperback. Andre Carl van der Merwe, Europa Editions. Nicholas van der Swart has always been different. His family and his culture expect him to be one way, to live according to their precepts and rules, but his sense of self is strong and efforts to make him conform have only made him stronger. Diffident and introverted as a child, Nicholas learns as a young man that remaining true to oneself, however hard it may be, is an undertaking worth risking one's life for. When, at the age of 19, he is conscripted into the South African army, he enters a world that is utterly at odds with his every sensibility and his hard-won personal fortitude will be put to the ultimate test. In this world, he will face the scorn and violence of his tormenters, but will also find the strength to survive. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa has gone a long way toward exposing and exorcising some of the atrocities committed in the name of Apartheid, yet very little has been revealed about the adversities faced by gay people under the regime. Set in the Angola Bush War that raged from 1966 to 1989 in South-west Africa, Moffie transports the reader into the world of a young gay conscript with evocative realism. At turns heart wrenching and humorous, told with great sensitivity and infused with hope, Moffie is the inspiring story of a remarkable man whose tenacity and inner strength are pitted against a system that attempts to annihilate all traces of individuality. ' Moffie is a courageous book. It's honest and true and evocative . . . beautifully written.' Sunday Times (South Africa) 'What sets this novel apart is its overwhelming honesty and integrity. Gently erotic tales of love and infatuation are subtly evoked.' Cape Times. Paperback. …
