The Lion Sleeps at Night

For Rian Malan, the blessing of living in South Africa is that every day presents him with material whose richness astounds those living in saner places. Twenty years after the publication of his bestselling My Traitor's Heart, Malan eviscerates politicians, provokes fury in Aids activists, pursues justice in the music industry, and exults in the company of an extraordinary cast of characters. The Lion Sleeps Tonight is a provocative and engaging collection from one of South Africa's best writers. 'Malan is bent on uncovering another level altogether of South African life, and he does so beautifully.' The New York Times.
