An astounding collection of personal and political stories set in varied locales and cultures. In this collection of sixteen stories, Gordimer brings unforgettable characters from every corner of society to a child refugee fleeing civil war in Mozambique; a black activist's deserted wife longing for better times; a rich safari party indulging themselves while lionesses circle their lodge. Chhalang is a vivid, disturbing and rewarding portrait of life in South Africa under apartheid.
