Brink, André (Vol. 18) - Introduction

Brink, André 1935–

Brink is a South African novelist, playwright, and editor. A passionate antagonist of apartheid, a subject that recurs in all of his work, Brink is more often praised for the intensity of his convictions than for his skill in fictionalizing them. Although his works have twice received the South African Central News Agency Literary Prizes, several have been officially banned for their antigovernment stance.
