- Inhalt:
- The Pines, a gated community in the South African city of East London, protects homeowners from crime. But nobody's going to protect the young man trapped behind its walls. Moses wants one thing: to get home, where his girlfriend and a cold beer are waiting for him. But his car breaks down on an empty street, not a single human being in sight. Moses slips into The Pines, a gated community, in hopes to find help from a university classmate who lives there. Over there, in the "white" world, everything seems calm, orderly, safe. But once inside, he feels like more of an outsider than ever. And he makes a terrible mistake. Mistaken identities, racial profiling, and class politics form the backdrop of this intense thriller. Winner of the 2017 German Crime Fiction Prize, The Wall (translated by Rachel Hildebrandt) tackles the issues of gun violence, racism, and exclusion in contemporary South Africa-problems that are equally relevant to the United States.
