Twenty-two-year-old Etienne is studying film in London, having fled
conscription in his native South Africa. It is 1986, the time of
Thatcher, anti-apartheid campaigns and Aids, but also of postmodern
art, post-punk rock, and Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Adrift in a city
cast in shadow, he falls in love with a German artist while living
in derelict artists’ communes. When Etienne finds the first of
three reels of a German film from the 1930s, he begins searching
for the missing reels, a project that turns into an obsession when
his lover disappears in Berlin. It is while navigating this city
divided by the Wall that Etienne gradually pieces together the
history of a small group of Jewish film makers in Nazi Germany. It
is a desperate quest amid complications that pull him back to the
present and to South Africa. However, his search for the missing
film continues. Ambitious and cosmopolitan, the material of SJ
Naude’s The Third Reel is as disparate as the cities in which the
book is set. Architecture, cinematography, sex, music, illness,
loss and love all collide in this exquisitely wrought, deeply
affecting novel.
