A Walk in the Night and Other Stories reveals La Guma as one of the most important African writers of his time. These works reveal the plight of non-whites in apartheid South Africa, laying bare the lives of the poor and the outcasts who filled the ghettoes and shantytowns. A walk in the night follows the story in which the collection takes its name from, A Walk in the Night, relates the story of a young man who is overtaken by the oppression of apartheid as he walks through the night to calm his nerves after being unjustly fired by his white supervisor. Very fine condition, little to no marks on the front or back cover.
