Can Themba, the brilliant and dissolute assistant editor divides his life between literary and philosophical debate, and passionate love affairs, most recently with a beautiful white woman – dangerous, since such relationships in themselves can be interpreted as seditious acts.
For Can, it would appear, there is no mystery; Henry’s is merely one more death among the hundreds, thousands that happen in Sophiatown, the inevitable price of the bestialising brutality of the regime under which they live.
The Bohemian ideal lived by Can - the high-minded philosophical discourse, the hard drinking, the love affairs, the apparent inability to treat the immediate political situation with any degree of seriousness – all is designed to keep at bay the despair, fear and desperation that with Henry’s death now threatens to engulf Can.

THEMBA, (Daniel Canodoise) Can (1924-68), South African short-story writer, was born in Marabastad, outside Pretoria, but was to spend most of his productive literary life in Sophiatown, near Johannesburg, before it was bulldozed under the provisions of the Group Areas Act.
To his writing Themba brought the contradictions of the 'new Africans', who had university education but were prevented from realizing their potential by a plethora of racist laws and regulations, and who were both attracted and repelled by white liberal society but felt no affinity for fl tribal culture.
His writing of the 1960s reveals his despair and frustration over the difficulties of living life as an outcast in his own country and his increasing reliance on alcohol: introspective pieces such as 'Crepuscle', 'The Will to Die', and 'The Bottom of the Bottle' are evidence of a growing darkness of sentiment and style.
