Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1988. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374180539. 120 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Jack Harrison. Jacket illustration by Breyten Breytenbach. keywords: Poetry South Africa Afrikaans. FROM THE PUBLISHER - A hero of the South African resistance, Breyten Breytenbach has led a life distinguished by political engagement and moral courage. Born into a prominent Afrikaner family, Breytenbach was celeb rated in his own country as the leading Afrikaans poet of his generation and as a painter of distinction. However, after Breytenbach left South Africa for Europe as a young man in the late fifties, his involvement in politics deepened, and by the end of the following decade he had become one of the leading white opponents of apartheid. In 1975, Breytenbach returned clandestinely to South Africa from France. He was arrested, charged with terrorism,' and spent seven years in prison - two in solitary confinement. His memoir of this time, True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist, was hailed by Neal Acherson in The New York Review of Books as one of the classics of prison literature of the twentieth century.' He was released in 1982, after the direct intervention of France's President Mitterand, and returned to Paris. Judas Eye and Self-Portrait/Deathwatch is the first volume of Breytenbach's poetry to be published since his release from prison. What is most evident in this new work is the range and power of Breytenbach's imagination. Speaking of his earlier works, Nadine Gordimer said Breytenbach writes from the underground that is exile. It is impossible for his countrymen and for all of us to stop Our ears against the excruciating penetration of what he has to say.' From poems and autobiographic fragments, Breytenbach in Judas Eye and Self-Portrait/Deathwatch has again succeeded in creating a moving personal testament of urgency and importance. inventory #11403.
