The Z Town Trilogy by Achmat Dangor
Another state of emergency is declared and so begins the final chapter in the lives of the people of Z Town. The end of an era, if not of a regime, is foretold.
Janey, beautiful and naive, consorts first with a quisling township Representative then with a radical poet before she takes flight into a fabled world of birds.
Her sister Dorothy appears at first to have a keener sense of the township and its stark realities. But soon she too seeks refuge in a world inhabited by her family and its mythical secrets.
The Z Town Trilogy is about a personal state of emergency. The lives of ordinary people continue, at once afflicted and elevated by the world around them and ‘great’ things that change and do not change.
