Quatrième de couverture :
A Fork in the Road is André Brink's story of a life lived in tumultuous times. He describes, with searing honesty, his conflicting experiences of growing up in a world where innocence was always surrounded by violence and storytelling a means of reconciling the stark contrasts of his world. His time spent in Paris in the 1960s confirmed in him the desire to become a writer but his opposition to the apartheid establishment resulted in years of harassment by the South African secret police; it also led to extraordinary friendships with leaders of the ANC in exile.
A Fork in the Road is André Brink's love song to the country where he was born and where, despite recent tragedies, he still lives today.
'His memoir does not shy away from awkward questions: there's an explicit sense of him bearing witness to his own experience' Metro
'Brink's a brave man, oh yes, and this is an extraordinary book because it combines, uniquely, angry forensic polemic with writing of the highest order' Irish Times
'Romanticism, often in the teeth of appalling oppression and tragedy, is the spirit which runs through A Fork in the Road' Glasgow Herald
'Elegiac, angry and earnest' Guardian
