I only feel sure that the main function of a writer is to make life magical and to communicate a sense of wonder. I do admit that I found the south African situation so evil that it was impossible for me to deal with, in creative terms…My work has covered the whole spectrum of Southern African preoccupations - refugeeism, racialism, patterns of evil, and the ancient Southern African historical dialogue.
