Introduction : mapping loss -- Pt. 1. Spaces of truth-telling : the TRC and post-apartheid literatures of memory -- 1.1. The calcification of memory : 'The story I am about to tell' and 'He left quietly' -- 1.2. A theater of displacement : 'Ubu and the Truth Commission' -- 1.3. The lie where the truth is closest : Anjie Krog's 'Country of my skull' -- 1.4. Words that look like acts : Ingridde Kok's 'Transfer' and 'Terrestrial things' -- 1.5. Irredeemable blood, irretrievable loss : Sindiwe Magona's 'Mother to mother' -- Pt. 2. Post-apartheid urban spaces -- 2.1. Peace through amnesia :Achmat Dangor's 'Bitter fruit' -- 2.2. Thecity dissected : Ivan Vladislaviâc's 'The exploded view' -- 2.3. Linguistic trips : Phaswane Mpe's 'Welcome to our hillbrow' -- 2.4. Peripatetic mapping : K.Sello Duiker's 'The quiet violence of dreams' -- 2.5. Excavating the city : Aziz Hassim's 'The lotus people' -- Pt. 3. Excavations and the memory of landscapes -- 3.1. A map of echoes : Anne Landman's 'The devil's chimney' -- 3.2. Buried footprints : Zoèe Wicomb's 'David's story' -- 3.3. Burdened by the scars of history : Zakes Mda's 'The heart of redness.'

In the wake of apartheid, South African culture conveys the sense ofbeing lost in time and space. The Truth Commission provided an opportunity for South Africans to find their bearings in a nation changing at a bewildering pace; the TRC also marked the beginning of a long processof remapping space, place, and memory. In this groundbreaking book, Shane Graham investigates how post-apartheid theatre-makers and writers of fiction, poetry, and memoir have taken this project forward, using their art to come to terms with South Africa's violent past and rapidly changing present.
