Zo Wicomb's complex and deeply evocative fiction is among the most
distinguished recent works of South African women's literature. It
is also among the only works of fiction to explore the experience
of Coloured citizens in apartheid-era South Africa, whose mixed
heritage traps them, as Bharati Mukherjee wrote in the New York
Times, in the racial crucible of their country. Wicomb deserves a
wide American audience, on a part with Nadine Gordimer and
J.M.Coetzee. - Wall St. Journal Wicomb is a gifted writer, and her
compressed narratives work like brilliant splinters in the mind,
suggesting a rich rhythm and shape.-Seattle Times Wicomb's] prose
is vigorous, textured, lyrical. . . . She] is a sophisticated
storyteller who combines the open-endedness of contemporary fiction
with the force of autobiography and the simplicity of family
stories.-Bharati Mukherjee, New York Times Book Review For course
use in: African literature, African studies, growing up female,
world literature, women's studies Zoe Wicomb was born in 1948 and
raised in Namaquland, South Africa. After 20 years voluntary exile,
she returned to South Africa in 1991 to teach at the University of
the Western Cape. She currently lives in Glasgow and teaches at the
University of Strathclyde, Scotland. Marcia Wright is professor of
history at Columbia University and a member of the executive
committee for the Women Writing Africa series. Carol Sicherman is
professor emerita of English at Lehman College, CUNY.
