Title: A more clear-headed review
Review: Now that I'm finished with My Son's Story I feel that my older review of this book was mostly wrong. This is a very difficult book to read, the writing is very complicated chocked full of allusion, metaphor, allusion, simile, allusion, and, you guessed it, allusion! It is a wonderfully elegant, rich book which makes the struggle against apartheid in South Africa real and personal to the reader.What I love about this book is that the "heroes" of the movement are shown to be multi-dimensional, flawed, people, who are doing their best in their lives, as well as to further the interests of the liberation movement.My Son's Story is an inspiring, moving book. As difficult as it is to read(it made me feel kind of stupid!) I know that I am a better, richer person for having read it.
Is the review positive or negative?
