White Scars also explores the moments at which Hirson read the four
books. They include the arrest of his anti-apartheid activist
father, Baruch Hirson in the early 1960's; his own move to Paris in
the 1970's; his father's death, and the end of a period of mourning
for him. In weaving together these two strands in White Scars,
Hirson has referred to many other texts, including other books by
Breyten Breytenbach, Raymond Carver and Georges Perec. He has also
explored a constellation of key words, which trace, in different
ways, the political space of apartheid South Africa and the
transience of one who is now looking back at that time through the
prism of distance.
