Gerald Kraak's Shadow Play released

This month, two and a half years after Gerald Kraak's death, his novel Shadow Play will be launched in South Africa. A story of subterfuge, betrayal, risk and deep bonds of friendship formed during a time of struggle and pain in Amsterdam and London, where Kraak lived as a political exile, and by way of flashbacks in South Africa. The novel has been posthumously completed and edited by Alison Lowry.

ZAM published extracts from the manuscript in October 2015.
