An Eye for Colour

With wry humour and in very convincing detail, Basil Kushenovitz tells of his life and times with friends in South Africa. The thirteen inter-connected stories about adolescent dreams, fears and fantasies will speak to young men everywhere. Additionally, Silver has deftly taken side-swipes at the politics of SA, where a young girl's life can be fatally re-directed by being re-classified as coloured, where parents and their children are ideologically at odds and where bullish pre-judice goes hand-in-hand with cynical hypocrisy.
