In 2004, the Afrikaans novel Kontrei caused huge controversy - and earned critical acclaim, winning the Jan Rabie-Rapport prize for innovative prose. Now translated into English as Midnight Missionary, this astonishing novel takes the reader on an uncharted journey into the nihilistic world of a sex-mad Afrikaner man who seeks the company of black prostitutes, most of them immigrants from other African countries, in the backstreets and brothels of Johannesburg. By turns autobiography, social comment and subtle satire, Midnight Missionary provides a gritty and shockingly honest portrait of urban life in post-apartheid South Africa.
