Simon Avend, a South African living in Australia, can be unruly. He
often sets out to exotic destinations, indulging his desires in
places like Bali, Istanbul, Tokyo, and the Wild Coast. But along
the way unsettling memories arise, of people and also places,
especially the cattle farm in the Eastern Cape where he grew up. He
approaches a therapist to help him make sense of his past, a
process that leads them both on a journey of discovery. When
circumstances bring Simon back to South Africa, he must confront
the beauty and bitterness of his country of birth, and of the
people to whom he is bound. Green as the Sky Is Blue is a bold,
unflinching exploration of sexuality, intimacy, and the paradox
that lies at the heart of our humanity.
