André Brink is a South African writer.
They call themselves "Sestigers" By establishing relationships with a group of South African writers who gave his name, he begins to question the literary and cultural roots associated with the African tradition. Challenging the apartheid regime, André Brink creates a great impact with his first novel, A Look into the Darkness.
Ben Du Toit is an apolitical white teacher living in the suburbs of Johannesburg during the apartheid period with his three children and his wife. He has accepted the practices of the dominant political regime without thinking. He asks Gordon, the black janitor who works at the school where he works, to find his son Jonathan. until he asks for help.
Learning that his son died mysteriously, Gordon does not let go of the incident. Ben Du Toit, too. Ben Du Toit literally exposes the inhumane practices, injustice and fascism of the apartheid system, which he believes in and does not even question.
It was a book I read with interest, A Dry White Season.
