In the wake of his father's death, Gilbert du Toit begins to see
rays of light and schools of fish streaking through the air. He
believes that these visions are sending him a message, and sets off
to follow his peculiar guides across the vastness of the Great
Karoo. A journey that begins with a sense of purpose deteriorates
into a manic and unpredictable expedition. When Gilbert's path
crosses that of the Howlers, a trio of e-convicts touring the
country with violin, trumpet and guitar, he is steered to dinosaur
parks and backroad bars in the South African hinterland. Yet, as
his travels unfold, it becomes clear that his past cannot be
outpaced easily. A love affair in Kuils River offers respite, but
in the end Gilber must confront the question: what is the message
in the signs he sees all around him? In glimmering prose infused
with humour and pathos, Tom Dreyer's The Long Wave is a tale of
transformation, friendship and the mystery at the heart of ordinary
life.
