Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This sparse, disturbing novel reflects the past, present, and future of a woman, Anna P, who lives on an island off the coast of Italy but can no longer remember how she got there. She comes from South Africa but has almost no memories of the place or people there. The only person she has any relationship with is a sex worker whom she pays by the hour. She has abusive encounters with unknown men, and it is not clear whether she occasionally kills these men or not. It is only when she begins to connect emotionally with a young boy in her accidental care that she finds some value in herself, some place which she will not allow to be abused, and her life gradually changes. This meticulously crafted debut asks a number of difficult questions about the nature of memory: Who are we if we lose our memories? What does it mean to have no identity? And if we have no identity, no sense of ourselves, how can we make any ethical choices? The answers may not comfort the reader, but The Story of Anna P, as Told by Herself grounds such existential ponderings in a rich imaginative landscape that will linger with the reader long after the last page is read. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In association with Getaway Magazine, share in the spirit of the readers of Getaway as they journey through these hilarious, poignant, silly, ridiculous and often bewildering signs. This, the third journey into public oddity, includes some Chinglish (Chinese English) corkers. The first book hit the presses as Funny Signs, although at the time we had no idea it would be so enthusiastically received, going into five reprints. It also produced a flurry of ever more funny signs which, in 2004, led to another book, More Funny Signs. Writing in that edition, then Getaway editor David Bristow called it 'a tribute to the readers of Getaway, who share with us all other readers the spirit of their journeys through these hilarious, poignant, silly, ridiculous and often bewildering signs.' It's amazing how many people go to considerable trouble to tell other people wacky things on boards - and often get the message so delightfully wrong doing it. We at Getaway are sure you'll enjoy our third journey into public oddity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Good. This collection of essays by some of South Africa's foremost HIV/AIDS writers, doctors, and activists takes readers down the rabbit hole of AIDS denialism when thousands of people died unnecessarily as their treatment became the subject of intellectual debate by politicians. Recounting the democratic, postapartheid government's questioning of the link between HIV and AIDS and the contention of the inefficacy of antiretroviral drugs, this history stands as both a chronicle of the past and a cautionary tale for the future. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jacana Media is proud to make this important book available again, now with a completely new introduction. First published by Oceanbooks, New York and Melbourne and University of Natal Press, Pietermaritzburg in 2001, the book was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Alan Paton Award in 2002. In the public imagination the struggle that saw the end of apartheid and the inauguration of a democratic South Africa is seen as one waged by black people who were often imprisoned or killed for their efforts. Raymond Suttner, an academic, is one of a small group of white South Africans who was imprisoned for his efforts to overthrow the apartheid regime.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. I Remember Nelson Mandela is a collection of remembrances from those who worked with, for and beside Mandela. More than one hundred individuals, from household staff to bodyguards and presidential advisors, have offered their memories, which provide warm, poignant, and often humorous insights into what it was like behind the scenes with one of the most beloved political figures the world has seen. The collection is the dream-child of Mrs. Graca Machel who, some months after Nelson Mandela's passing on December 5, 2013, met with former members of his staff to thank them for their service. Listening to their stories inspired the creation of this book, providing readers with a glimpse into the man behind the title. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Seventh Street Alchemy" by Brian Chikwava is the winner of the 2004 Caine Prize! This is the fifth anthology of Caine Prize shortlisted stories, and the third to include the proceedings of a Caine Prize African Writers' Workshop. Out of the twelve countries represented on the five short lists to date, three have been North African, three East African, three West African and three from southern Africa. So the prize has a truly pan-African reach. It is widely referred to now as 'the African Booker' and 'Africa's leading literary award' - in Africa, in the UK and increasingly in the US. The impact on the writers' lives has been dramatic. The first two winners, Leila Aboulela and Helon Habila, have both had outstanding success with their work since Habila won a Commonwealth prize for his first novel in 2002 and his second novel is with the publishers. Leila Aboulela's second novel, "Minaret", has just been published by Bloomsbury. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Caine Prize shortlist 2002) was on the Orange Prize shortlist for her first novel, "Purple Hibiscus", published by Harper, and it won the Commonwealth First Book Prize in 2005. Hassounah Mosbahi's story, "The Tortoise", which was shortlisted in 2001, appears in an excellent collection of stories from North Africa, Sardines and Oranges, published this year by Banipal. And Doreen Baingana, shortlisted in 2004, was given a Writers' Programme Award for her collection, "Tropical Fish - Stories from Entebbe", published this year by Massachusetts University Press. The 2004 Caine Prize winner is the Zimbabwean writer, Brian Chikwava. Also on the shortlist, with Doreen Baingana, were Monica Arac de Nyeko, also from Uganda, Parselelo Kantai from Kenya and Chika Unigwe from Nigeria. Their stories appear in this volume. Except for Kantai, who was busy on a Reuters' fellowship at Oxford University, they participated in this year's Caine Prize Writers' workshop, as did Charles Mungoshi (Zimbabwe) and Jackee Batanda (Uganda), who were both highly commended by the 2004 Prize judges. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
