About Shift

In the year of the 70th anniversary of the Freedom Charter – which outlined the principles of democracy and freedom in South Africa – comes a novel set in the township where it was signed.

Arlie is a moderately successful thirty-something photographer who can’t seem to get his shit together. He can’t hold onto a girlfriend, or much else, and his relationship with his parents is complicated. His agoraphobic mother, Dellie, has long drawn a silence over her South African upbringing. The more she refuses to illuminate, the more Arlie wants to know.

Gutsy and gripping, tender and deeply compassionate, Shift is a compulsively readable story about the messy process of art- making, and the mess of love and family.
