...presence of death give the text sustained gravity without making it oppressive. The book is not suspenseful; lives move in their immutable arcs, but he captures the beautiful intersections of these solitary shapes exquisitely. The temptation to allegorize his story looms as large as the historical-political context contained therein. But Hoffmann’s narrative looks so thoughtfully inward that it seems unjust to dilute the quality of this introspection with politics. Hoffmann creates an impressionistic, hypnotic representation of the content of a human life. His account is marked by a powerful sense of wonder at his surrounding planet...

China's incipient rebound relies on a timeworn stimulus formula: upping the ante on infrastructure spending to support growth in anticipation of a return of global demand for Chinese...
...rambling network of rooms at The Railway House (23 Main Road, tel: (27-21) 788 4761) is a fitting showcase for the antique trove contained therein: in the pink room, you can find a fully operational '60s pinball machine, while the African room offers up a hand-beaten copper bath...
