the wounds are still very raw here with regard to apartheid. it's very recent history


it just seems unnecessary, it's not his word to laugh about

if he had been using the word in some sort of social commentary. that might not be so bad. but in the context of the book, he could easily have replaced the word with 'asshole'

it's distasteful is all

i didn't think it was trying hard to be edgy

i thought it was a story set in a world the author knew, and was amusing and disgusting and entertaining.

his next book. is about GOLF. no joke or lie. but with added gangsters.
