商品簡介
One of South Africa's most exciting literary voices, Damon Galgut leads readers into his continent's developing heart with The Impostor - a surreal tour of a glittering world in which the moneyed old guard, newly empowered black Africans, and shady foreign businessmen all jockey for a piece of the new South African dream. Into this setting steps Adam Napier, who left Johannesburg looking for a fresh start. Jobless, directionless, but with a head full of literary ambitions, he lives like a hermit in his brother's dilapidated house on the edge of a backwater town - until the day he encounters Canning. Canning, a former schoolmate, claims Adam saved his life in childhood, but Adam does not remember him at all. Still, 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.
