Call the Stationmaster If He Can Hear You (Paperback)

A white South African boy’s journey into life against a backdrop of prejudice and change, that takes many different paths from birth to his imagined death. It’s an adventure of exciting discoveries about himself, his parents, the social and political order in which he finds himself, and the spiritual avenues into which he is led that are fraught with conflict and disaster. Romance, betrayal, divided loyalties, and religious intolerance are some of the issues that he faces on the way to manhood. He achieves notable success as a radio journalist, news reader, senior academic, playwright, civic leader, arts administrator and television producer. The story is leavened with loads of fun and humour, taking his Irish grandfather’s advice to always sit further back to get a longer ride, and to call the stationmaster should the journey be tough – a stationmaster who could possess both temporal and divine powers.
