Description
White Boy Running is a satirical and evocative portrait of growing up in South Africa during a tumultuous period. In 1987, Christopher Hope returned to his native country after a 12-year absence, witnessing firsthand the bitter divisions that had taken hold. This memoir weaves together journalistic commentary with the author's personal story, offering a mordantly witty account of escape, displacement, and disillusionment.
Through exquisite and despairing descriptions, Hope recounts the bloody battles that have divided his homeland, creating a vivid picture of a country gripped by an absurd, racist insanity. This is a powerful exploration of one man's experiences in a nation torn apart by conflict and social change.
