Outside the Lines Ameera Patel

Outside the Lines offers a very modern and innovative perspective on Johannesburg. Characters are accurately depicted; they are not parodies of clichés, but rather the inebriated partygoer, your friend's domestic helper, or the Muslim girl in your accounting class. They are all recognizable, and their stories are real and unsentimental. This is a much-needed new voice in African writing; it is cool, articulate, and sophisticated, but it is also anchored in South Africa's persistent post-Rainbow Nation hangover. Watch for more writing from this author.
