It is 1993, and Aubrey Tearle's world is shutting down. He has
recently retired from a lifetime of proofreading telephone
directories. His favorite neighborhood haunt in Johannesburg, the
Cafe Europa, is about to close its doors; the familiar old South
Africa is already gone. Standards, he grumbles, are in decline, so
bad-tempered, conservative Tearle embarks on a grandiose plan to
enlighten his fellow citizens. The results are disastrous,
hilarious, and poignant.Ivan Vladislavic is the author of a number
of prize-winning fiction and nonfiction books. He lives in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
