Roger Smith's novels are outstanding in every respect. And disturbing. This is an unusually gifted author. Ishmael Toffee was the first of Smith's novels that I read, and I have since read others, enjoying that each is a stand alone, unique in terms of characters and plot, but all share beautiful or grisly descriptions, well developed characters, and the sense of intimacy with the reality of life in South Africa for the wealthy, the middle class, and the hopelessly poor.
