Cion by Zakes Mda (review)
|
South African born novelist and playwright Zakes Mda says the end of apartheid made it easier for him to write.
He lived in exile in the US until 1995 when he was able to return to South Africa. That was the year his first novel Ways of Dying came out and he has since won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for The Heart of Redness in 2001.
He is now based in the US where he teaches creative writing at the University of Ohio.
His latest book is Cion and reviewer Kevin Murray has been reading this novel for the Book Show.
