	Bookreporter.com - THE RIGHTS OF DESIRE by Andre Brink
		But South Africa's upheaval and unraveling still perpetuate, and it is this volatile and desperate state that is so expertly captured by novelist Andre Brink in his newest book, THE RIGHTS OF DESIRE.
		Ruben's desire for Tessa mimics Antje's or that of her master (we never find out who actually was pursuing whom in the subplot), and his pain is no less hurtful than the cruelties Cape Town residents inflict on each other as the pigment of the hand of power changes.
		Brink's newest is an engrossing lesson in life's fragile dynamics and an interior view of an exotic culture rank with metamorphosis.

	Brink,Andre Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		As startling and powerful as when first published more than two decades ago, André Brink's classic novel, "A Dry White Season," is an unflinching and unforgettable look at racial intolerance, the human condition, and the heavy price of morality.
		In new novel by the author of "A Dry White Season", nothing in Devil's Valleyis at is seems--the supernatural is an ingredient of everyday, the living anddead are never quite separate, and the grotesque coexists with the banal.
		Brink's novel about terrorism in South Africa is narrated by the characters that surround Thomas Landman, whose violent act serves as a catalyst exposing the corruption of the apartheid system.

	Amazon.com: Devil's Valley: Books: Andre Brink (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Brink's account of Lochner's adventures among them reminds a reader somewhat of Gulliver's, and it is clear the author is reveling in the chance to satirize the beliefs and behaviors of the Boer culture in which he was raised.
		Brink's examination of local history and journalistic writing also delves into some interesting domains: for example, where and how much is it proper to delve into people's personal affairs.
		SPOILERS: Brink does not answer the question of whether we are reading about one person's hell (or purgatory) or not, but there is much in the book that hints that the main character, Flip Lochner, is in his own personal hell.

		Since reading 'Imaginings of Sand' some years ago (highly recommended by the way), Andre Brink is one of the few writers I have actively sought in bookshops.
		Mr Brink has used the novel as a way of getting information to the outside world that other media have been unable to, as did many authors from the former Soviet block and certain countries in South America.
		Commentary on the unfolding war in Iraq, expressed through the main character, serve to remind us that Andre Brink is an outspoken political and social commentator.

	The Novel: Language And Narrative Form Cervantes to Calvino by André Brink
		The South African writer André Brink is no stranger to novels, having written several himself.
		Brink's own work might best be described as literary realism; in A Dry White Season, he chronicled the horror of apartheid and its dreadful effect on both whites and fls.
		Though Brink's analysis of these newer novelists is both acute and interesting, it is the unique reading he brings to the classics of previous centuries that makes The Novel novel.

		While I feel this to be slightly inferior to 'The Rights of Desire', it's still worthy of a five-star rating.
		What separates them, for me, is that Coetzee's strongest skill lies in the style of his use of language itself, and Brink's strongest skill is his style in the use of character.
		However, as I've said, both authors are able to distance their writing styles from each other at just the right times, and write similarly at the right times also.
