Abstract
André Brink's collection of “political writings” details his interpretation of —and dissent from — South Africa's racist politics. It also contains some penetrating sorties into the thicket of politically involved literature. This article comments from a sociological point of view on Brinks incisive — and not so incisive — insights into the role of the writer, conflicting interests across the borders of politics and literature and Brink's notion of “truth” in and through literature.
