It is the tale of their grandson Zweig, a young architect who has to leave Johannesburg when he falls in love with the wrong person, and of Marceline, a Congolese mother who flees to the city only to be caught up in a wave of xenophobic violence.\u003cbr\u003eSpanning more than a hundred years, A Thousand Tales of Johannesburg is a novel that documents and probes the lives of the inhabitants of this incomparable African city - the exiled, those returning from exile, and those who never left.\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+Harry+Kalmer\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHarry Kalmer\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harry Kalmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375835300003,"sku":"9781485903475","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781485903475_28af7b0c-ee0c-4713-bd1b-098e414e5251.jpg?v=1776552968","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781485903475","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
