«El joven de Infancia creciĂł en el norte desarrollado de Ciudad del Cabo, atormentado por la culpa y el miedo. Con un padre por quien no sentĂa ningĂșn respeto y una madre a quien adoraba y deseaba a la vez, llevaba una doble vida; en la escuela era un estudiante modelo, brillante y bien educado mientras en casa era un pequeño dĂ©spota, siempre acongojado por la posibilidad de perder el amor de su madre. Sus primeros encuentros con la literatura, el despertar de la sexualidad y una creciente forma de conciencia del fenĂłmeno del apartheid lo llevaron a plantarse cuestiones espinosas y desconcertantes, y sĂłlo en su amor por los veld («las granjas son lugares de libertad, de vida») logrĂł encontrar un sentimiento arraigado.»
