Description

Tsotsi is an angry young gang leader in the South African township of Sophiatown. A man without a past, he exists only to kill and steal. But one night, in a moonlit grove of bluegum trees, a woman he attempts to rape forces a shoebox into his arms. The box contains a baby, and his life is inexorably changed. He begins to remember his childhood, to rediscover himself and his capacity for love. Turned into an Oscar-winning movie in 2006, Tsotsi's raw power and rare humanity show how decency and compassion can survive against the odds.

Media Reviews

Extraordinarily moving * * Guardian * *
A real find, by one of the most affecting and moving writers of our time * * Financial Times * *
One of the best novels in contemporary South African fiction * * Times Literary Supplement * *
In lean yet lyrical prose ... Fugard uncannily insinuates himself into the skins of the oppressed majority and articulates its rage and misery and hope * * New York Times Book Review * *
Powerful and disturbing. -- Simon Shaw * * Mail on Sunday * *
Outstanding ... Fugard sets his intense scenes before a palpable void ... one is left with an impression of both fierce instinct and fine shading. -- Stephanie Cross * * Daily Telegraph * *
