Adam Napier leaves Johannesburg looking for a fresh start. Jobless and directionless, but with a head full of literary ambitions, he moves into his brothers dilapidated house on the edge of a backwater town. One day he encounters Canning, a man who claims Adam saved his life in their school days, but whom Adam does not remember at all. But he plays along and, for a time, enjoys all that Canning has: a vast fortune and game preserve inherited from his father, and a beautiful, mysterious younger wife to whom Adam is compulsively, dangerously drawn. A spellbinding achievement from one of the defining members of a new generation of African writers. The Impostor evokes a glittering world in which the moneyed old guard, newly empowered black Africans, and shady foreign businessmen jockey for a piece of the new South African dream. 650 0 $a Friendship $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rich people $z South Africa $v Fiction. 651 0 $a South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suspense fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116051048.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418070201.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824073834.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A0D59286BFB11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
