Description: "The powerful stories collected in Crossroads deal with the viciousness of apartheid and show how that policy dehumanised South Africans. The stories are populated by desperate characters who are damaged by the conflict and driven to violence. They, and the state, are all at their own crossroads. This collection was shortlisted for the Weekly Mail-Heinemann literary award. Many of the stories appeared in leading literary journals and anthologies and two were broadcast on the BBC World Service. This is the first time they have been brought together in a single volume." -- Back cover.
Notes: "A powerful collection of stories on the violence that preceded the change to a democratic South Africa" -- Cover.
