'Hope writes with extraordinary exuberance and invention.' - Literary Review
In White Boy Running, Christopher Hope explored how it felt and looked to grow up in a country gripped by an 'absurd, racist insanity'.
In The Cafe de Move-on Blues, on a road trip thirty years later, Christopher goes in search of today's South Africa; post-apartheid, but also post the dashed hopes and dreams of Mandela, of a future when race and colour would not count.
He finds a country still in the grip of a ruling party intent only on caring for itself, to the exclusion of all others; a country where racial divides are deeper than ever. As the old imperial idols of Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger are literally pulled from their pedestals in a mass yearning to destroy the past, Hope ponders the question:
What next?
Framed as a travelogue, this is a darkly comic, powerful and moving portrait of South Africa - an elegy to a living nation, which is still mad and absurd.
Kruger's Alp, which won the Whitbread Prize for Fiction,
Serenity House, which was shortlisted for the 1992 Booker Prize, as well as
My Mother's Lovers and
Shooting Angels, which were both published to great acclaim. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
