{"product_id":"9781415200513","title":"You Can't Get Lost In Cape Town","description":"\u003cp\u003eNever before published in South Africa, the ten interconnected stories of You Can't Get Lost In Cape Town - presented here in a slightly revised edition - comprise one of the most distinguished works of South African literature. The book portrays a young coloured woman's coming of age in apartheid South Africa, spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. The stories reflect the search of many coloured South Africans for identity in a harshly hierarchical society where white was held above coloured and coloured above black.\u003cbr\u003eIn a timeless narrative constructed of vivid episodes that span almost thirty years in the protagonist's life, the book details Frieda Shenton's coming of age as a woman; and as a writer. In telling Frieda's story, Zoë Wicomb explores class, race, gender and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is only as Frieda finds the courage to tell her “terrible stories” - working through her tangled feelings for her family, her heritage, her country and her art - that she can at last begin to create her own place in a world where she has always felt herself an exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+A.+van+der+Merwe;Zoe+Wicomb\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eA. van der Merwe;Zoe Wicomb\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A. van der Merwe;Zoe Wicomb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376785932451,"sku":"9781415200513","price":290.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781415200513_ab7a8dea-0001-4ae2-be22-993ebbef43ab.jpg?v=1776530949","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781415200513","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
