Good general condition

In White Boy Running, Christopher Hope returns to South Africa in 1987 after a twelve-year absence, just as the country prepares for a whites-only election. What he finds is a nation still gripped by the surreal and brutal absurdities of apartheid. The book blends personal memoir with sharp journalistic observation, offering a satirical and evocative portrait of growing up in a society defined by racial insanity. Hopes narrative is laced with poetic irony and despairing beauty as he confronts the disillusionment of exile, the violence of homecoming, and the bitter defeat of liberal ideals. Through his journey, he captures the emotional and political landscape of a country fractured by its own contradictions, making this a modern classic of journalistic memoir.
