Roy Freeman, a suburban Jewish teenager, is troubled by the
injustices of apartheid South Africa in the 1960s. Prejudice is
not, however, confined to the oppression of 'non-whites'; it
permeates the diverse ethnic and religious groups in a nation
founded on the ideology of racial superiority. Perplexed, often
angry, he is a witness to the bigotry of his own family and
friends. This captivating novel traces Roy's rite of passage from
schoolboy to army conscript, from sexual ing nue to politicized
university student. A succession of uproarious episodes and an
assortment of unforgettable characters highlight the absurdities of
everyday South African life. By turns comic and poignant, White
Lies is an enthralling portrait of life in the 1960s in a country
that still strives to overcome its iniquitous past, and achieve
justice and equality.
