Quite Footsteps

Serote, Mongane Wally

<p>This novel sets out to document the latter years of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and successfully conveys the bewilderment and uncertainty that were the experience of those involved in the historic events of the time.<br>The overall impression is of a multitude of characters who enter the pages in an apparently random manner and then, inexplicably, disappear again. This intriguing device gives a sense of the mood of those days, when people really did come and go, frequently disappearing without explanation or trace.<br>Gods of our Time is a challenging and enriching experience, one that fills an important gap in South Africa's history, and, in many ways, exemplifies the shifts in novel-writing itself in this country.</p>

Keke, a veteran MK cadre who was once the CEO of a mobile phone company, wakes up one day to find his life in ruins. He has lost his job and his wife, and he has become more and more reliant on the solace of alcohol. After hitting rock bottom, Keke is thrust into a spiritual journey. He meets Ami, a shaman from Mali, and travels there, where he is “cooked” and cleansed in a “meeting” with his ancestors. Only when he is healed and understands his role in the context of a postapartheid South Africa, can Keke make a careful comeback to his country to rejoin his wife and comrades. The global village, the African continent, and South Africa are the platforms where Keke’s life unfolds in the 21st century.

Weaving together many ideas about reconciliation after war, this novel introduces characters—mostly artists and activists—who, after the liberation of South Africa, try to understand what they fought for and why. At the center of the story is a South African dance troupe that has recently returned from Chile. Broadening the debate, the members of this group report on violence against native people on another continent and provide a parallel that enlarges the South African perspective.
