Hardcover. Etat : Good. Product DescriptionA gripping tale of guilty secrets, betrayal, and racial tension, of isolation and revenge in modern-day South Africa, from the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Good DoctorWhen Adam moves into the abandoned house on the dusty edge of town, he is hoping to recover from the loss of his job and his home in the city. But when he meets Canning - a shadowy figure from his childhood - and Cannings enigmatic and beautiful wife, a sinister new chapter in his life begins. Canning has inherited a vast fortune and a giant folly in the veld, a magical place of fantasy and dreams that seduces Adam and transforms him absolutely, violently - and perhaps forever.The Impostor evokes a hot and cruel and claustrophobic world, in which sex and death are never far from the surface. Skilfully interweaving the story of one mans struggle to regain his moral centre with the disorienting, often tragic effects of massive social and political change, it is Galguts most powerful and unforgettable novel yet.ReviewGalgut has the talent to grow into one of South Africa's great literary voices, alongside its Nobel laureates, Nadine Gordimer and J.

Galgut lives in Cape Town, South Africa.Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.The first time he sees her: they come around the corner and she is standing on the grass, her back to them. The sun is going down in a spectacular arterial sewage of colour, but she appears indifferent to the display. She seems rapt in some private fantasy, holding a long suede coat closed around her body, despite the heat. She hears them and turns. Under the coat she is wearing a short, shimmery blue dress, and her legs are very long. Although her feet are bare, its as if shes wearing high heels. Even before he sees the bright paint on her face, Adam has a flash of the woman on the road outside the town, selling herself. She seems to have been transported here, garish and gorgeous and improbable.Once that first image fades, he sees past it to how beautiful she is. She is like an exotic doll, all her tiny features in immaculate proportion. Shes also young; at least ten years younger than Canning - which means ten years younger than Adam too.My wife, Baby, Canning says. Baby, this is Nappy.She holds out her hand. He can feel her long nails in his palm. The sensation lets something loose in him - distaste mixed with desire. He holds her fingers for a second longer than is necessary.Ive heard so much about you, she says. My husband has talked about you so many times.Her voice is low, husky, a little disinterested. The accent is neutral and rootless, hard to place. Her eyes linger on him for a moment, summing him up, before dismissing him.What do you think? Canning says proudly. I told you my wife is amazing.Yes, Adam murmurs. He doesnt know wh.
