Summary:
"Wicomb's majestic new novel Still Life juggles with our perception of time and reality as Wicomb tells the story of an author struggling to write a biography of long-forgotten Scottish poet
Thomas
Pringle
, whose only legacy is in South Africa where he is dubbed the "Father of South African Poetry." In her efforts to resurrect
Pringle
, the writer summons the specter of Mary Prince, the West Indian slave whose history
Pringle
had once published, along with Hinza, his adopted black South African son. At their side is Sir Nicholas Green, a seasoned time traveler (and a character from Virginia Woolf's Orlando). Their adventures, as they travel across space and time to unlock the mysteries of
Pringle
's life, offer a poignant exploration of colonial history and racial oppression."--Provided by publisher.
