The Persistence Of Memory

Paul Sweetbread is fat and a bit peculiar, and he also has perfect recall--a rather inconvenient gift in South Africa under apartheid. In this political satire, Tony Eprile writes about a character looking back on his life growing up in Johannesburg, then going on to fight in Angola and Namibia, and finally appearing before the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission to testify about human rights abuses.
