Description
The ten stories in Un/common Ground do, indeed, cover the unusual and generally unwritten about in South Africa with respect to both themes and styles. They range from adult love entanglements to the difficulties of children caught in the dissolution of families; from white supremacist racial murders to utopian societies of the 26th century; from drug induced hallucinations and trade in human body parts to the problems of creating a new identity for anti-apartheid activists faced by a radically changed world order.
