Gillian Slovo Bücher
15. März 1952
Gillian Slovo gestaltet Erzählungen, die sich mit dem komplexen Zusammenspiel von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart auseinandersetzen und die Auswirkungen historischer Ereignisse auf das heutige Leben untersuchen. Ihr Schreiben dringt oft in die dunkleren Winkel der menschlichen Psyche und moralischer Ambiguitäten ein. Durch fesselndes Geschichtenerzählen seziert sie gesellschaftliche und politische Strukturen und untersucht deren tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf Individuen. Slovo nutzt ihre erzählerische Stärke, um die Leser zu tiefen Reflexionen über Gerechtigkeit, Schuld und Erlösung zu bewegen.

The Government has so far refused a Public Inquiry into the riots that shook our cities this Summer, so the Tricycle is mounting its own. This verbatim play builds a real-time picture of the riots as they unfolded. And then, from interviews with politicians, police, teachers, lawyers, community leaders, as well as victims and on-lookers, The Riots analyses what happened, why it happened, and what we should do towards making a better future for ourselves and our city. Astonishing stories and equally astonishing conclusions told by the many voices that have been stirred up by the riots.
