Triomf - English Edition (Paperback)
Marlene Van NiekerkTriomf, originally written and published in Afrikaans, immediately captured the public imagination and proved to be a runaway success. It was awarded the CNA Literary Award and the M-Net Prize, in 1995, and the Mona Award for African Literature.
This is the story of the four inhabitants of 127 Martha Street in the white suburb of Triomf, built over the ruins of old Sophiatown, once the vibrant and notorious centre of black city life in Johannesburg.
Through their eyes the novel probes Afrikaner history and the politics of the old South Africa, in order to reveal the bizarre and tragic effects of apartheid on the white lower classes who should have been its main beneficiaries.
' deeply disturbing tender hilarious. It would be difficult to exaggerate the astonishing power of this book.'
- Jane Rosenthal, Mail & Guardian
