Waiting for Leila
Achmat Dangor
Waiting for Leila - South Africa Ravan Press 1981 - 140 p. PB 18x11 cm. - Ravan Writers Series .
Samad's search for Leila is an odyssey through a world where the jackhammers are destroying more than bricks and mortar: they are tearing into the souls of people, brutalising them, leaving them with hearts as empty as the shop windows in Hanover Street.
Waiting for Leila is a powerful indictment of a way of life to which so many were condemned; but despite this, as Samad says: 'Our ghosts are ineradicable.'
