hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1981. Scribner's. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0684173085. 1st Novel by Prize Winning Poet. Banned In South Africa At Publication Time. 199 pages. hardcover. Cover: David Gatti. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - This first novel by a prize-winning poet was banned in South Africa soon after publication. It is a part comic, part tragic tale of misadventure and injustice: a scathing, lyrical, bitterly funny, truly haunting indictment of senseless prejudice in the tradition of Alan Paton and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Harry Moto, a young boy about to come of age, lives in increasing fear of being different in a world where equality means privilege- Harry has no ID card, and no ID card means identity, no protection under the law. It is the law, not the faint tan of his skin, that sets Harry apart. Caught in a compromising position with a rich white girl at a school dance, Harry feels it is necessary to flee in order to avoid charges under the Immorality Act. Displaced and misclassified, he tries to escape by disappearing into a squalid lifestyle forced upon the underprivileged. But Harry isn't a busboy safe anywhere. Working as in a road house, he runs into the girl he took to the dance. Living in constant dread of rape and robbery, she confuses her friend with her fear. Trapped by misunderstanding and lunatic justice, Harry lands in jail, where he is made to write his confession, for if he is to have any hope of freedom, he must collaborate with the system that has denied him the dignity and security of a normal development. Like Holden Caulfield, Harry Moto will join the pantheon of memorable characters who, in the face of confusion and restraint, not only survive but triumph. inventory #4742.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
