Muriel at Metropolitan

En savoir plus sur le livre

Banned when it was first published in South Africa in 1975, Muriel at Metropolitan is set in a bustling furniture and electronics store catering to poor whites and blacks and describes the daily experiences of Muriel, the accounts typist. Her relationship with her colleagues and her feelings about the stream of customers who come into the shop are depicted and illustrate life on the fringes of white society. Miriam Tlali (1933-2017) also published a collection of short stories, Mihloti, and a second novel, Amandla, in South Africa.
