They are, as you might imagine, oppressed by getting and spending somewhat beyond their means, and their whole way of life is threatened by Bob?s fat-headed and sadistic boss.

He says, “I engage with history, with memory; I hover between two places, which is a way of forming insight.” Whether explaining the long-term use of Robin Island on the tip of Southern Africa as a place where “people who were considered outsiders, whether lepers or political prisoners, were kept” or evoking complex South African language politics through a piece about fig trees, Stopforth’s remarkable skill as storyteller, political...
