First published in 1988. First published as Een mond vol glas. Edited and translated by Dan Jacobson.
Recreates the sad and desperate life of a man who was never sure what he was nor where he stood. One day in 1966, in the chamber of the South African Parliament where he had recently been employed as a messenger, he walked up to Henrik Verwoerd, the Prime Minister, and stabbed him to death. Verwoerd was the father of modern aparthied. Demitrios Tsafendas was born half-Greek, half-African, in colonial Mozambique, a world defined by racial prejudice. The author describes his flight from country to country and his failure to fit in anywhere. A blend of biography and fiction.
