Skillfully interweaving the story of one man's struggle to regain his moral center with the disorienting, often tragic effects of massive social and political change, The Impostor is a novel of guilty secrets, betrayal, and racial tensions that evokes a hot, cruel, and claustrophobic modern-day South African world, in which sex and death are never far from the surface.
