 | | 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. |
