On a lonely stretch of road a nameless man commits a murder. The victim is a religious minister on his way to a new post in a nearby town. The murderer decides to steal the dead man's identity only to discover that one of his first duties as the new minister is to bury a body that has just been found close to the quarry'
"'Damon Galgut is a writer of immense clarity and control. His prose feels as if it's been fired through a crucible, burning away all the comfortable excess until only a hard, concentrated purity remains... There are thrilling images here, powerful themes and almost scarily precise writing.' Patrick Ness, Daily Telegraph 'Beautifully written' Guardian 'An uncompromising journey into the heart of South Africa's darkness, written in prose that is at once stark and striking.' Michael Arditti, Literary Review 'An extremely atmospheric book in a hazy, raw and entirely realistic sense... A compelling read about guilt and evasion of truth.' Tom Hiney, Spectator 'Damon Galgut's style is as bony as the landscape he depicts, as sly and sinewy as the characters that Inhabit it... Blunt and tense and fresh.' TLS
Damon Galgut was born in Pretoria in 1963 and now lives in Cape Town. He wrote his first novel, A Sinless Season, when he was seventeen. His other books include Small Circle of Beings, The Beautiful Screaming of Pigs and The Good Doctor.
