An audacious novel, the tale is told by three characters - an architect, a Khoisan vagrant and a seagull, all of whom recount their lives in Cape Town. Hieronymus Vos is an overweight, white architect, recently fallen on hard times, and married to a beautiful, black British-Caribbean woman. Although he hates the ocean, his practice has, until recently, been doing very well by designing glitzy millionaires' mansions on the Atlantic Seaboard. Pooi is a homeless man, recently arrived from the Kalahari, with a patchy grip on reality. He thinks he is the moon and wants to teach himself to swim so that he can reach Robben Island and fulfil a promise. The third narrator is Calypso, a female seagull who needs to find a mate and lay an egg to pass on her legacy and her identity. On That Wave of Gulls is a shrewd and lyrical tour de force by a natural storyteller. The everlasting story of how men and women relate in the closed system of violence, abuse and intimacy is masterfully told in this vivid novel."--Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Cape Town (South Africa) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204844 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011415.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53F3521ECD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
