Description

Thirteen Cents A Novel by K. Sello Duiker is a powerful and poignant coming-of-age story set in the shadowy side of Cape Town. Living on the streets, Azure navigates a world of danger, desperation, and hope, where gang leaders hold sway and white men seek him out for their own purposes. Based on personal experiences, this debut novel offers an unflinching account of life as a black teenager in a city torn between beauty and brutality. With a voice reminiscent of some of literature's greatest child narrators, Azure's story will stay with the reader long after finishing the book. This edition includes an introduction by Shaun Viljoen and a special glossary of South African words and phrases from the text translated into English.
