Bloke of All Ages is an expansive reflection that offers refreshing new
insights into the works of one of South Africa’s most important
literary, intellectual and artistic figures, William Bloke Modisane.
Born in Sophiatown, Modisane was a remarkable author, playwright and
actor, and a leading member of the DRUM generation in the 1950s. The
contributors trace Modisane’s intellectual and cultural journey from
his early years in South Africa to his exile in the United Kingdom,
East Africa, North America, Italy, the German Democratic Republic, and
the Federal Republic of Germany. Through a comprehensive and diverse
exploration of Modisane’s body of work, they offer critical literary
essays on his early short stories, his autobiography Blame Me on
History, his journalism as well as his writings while in exile. The
volume also includes little-known and previously unpublished essays by
Modisane, written during his time in exile. Bloke of All Ages
highlights the relevance and resilience of Modisane’s intellectual and
cultural contribution by situating his work in the broader historic
context of South African creative arts.
