This brand new, one-of-a-kind anthology collects some of the best literary nonfiction published since the end of apartheid, carefully selected and introduced by editors Sean Christie and Hedley Twidle. \u003c\/p\u003eFrom the underworld of zama zama goldminers to the tragicomic closure of a Cape Town zoo, from stick fighting to punk rock, game lodges to fruit farms, cricket pitches to mermaids, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Interpreters: South Africa's New Nonfiction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e assembles a range of true stories that are as compelling as any fiction. Literary nonfiction in South Africa has often been found at the margins of our media - in zines, journals, now defunct magazines and personal blogs. It is a kind of writing that has, in general, not made much financial sense - more a medium for those obsessed with pursuing a single story over months or years. In \u003cem\u003eThe Interpreters\u003c\/em\u003e, the editors have combed through 30 years of post-apartheid writing to produce a collection that combines preeminent names with lesser known but no less immersive and powerful works of creative journalism - disparate views and voices that, when read together, have created a new topography of South Africa's recent past. \u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing \u003c\/strong\u003eJ.
