Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. keywords: Literature South Africa Afrikaans. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The scene: South Africa, 1985. There is murder in the streets. A state of emergency has been declared. In AndrE Brink's powerful new novel, the narrator is a South African writer trying, as he puts it, to write a story untarnished by politics while the country around him is going up in flames.' He cannot help but attempt a fiction despite the chaos, and the story he struggles to write concerns another emergency - a passionate affair between a university professor, Philip, and his graduate student Melissa. As the writer tries out different scenarios, wrestling with the fictional narrative, he is haunted by the story of a young white woman, recently dead, whose diary reveals her involvement with a renowned ANC terrorist. But as the writer struggles to make the love story between Melissa and Philip come alive, and as he looks for meaning in the young woman's death, the violent world of South African politics intrudes. Directly inspired by the present crisis in South Africa, States of Emergency resonates with the anguish of the writer at work under extraordinary circumstances. It is a moving and dramatic attempt by one of South Africa's most distinguished voices to find artistic expression for the pain and misery of a country at war with itself. inventory #12162.
