Jacana Media, Exclusive Books and The Book Lounge are proud to invite you to the launches of the 2009 European Union Literary Award winner, Zinaid Meeran’s Saracen at the Gates.
Saracen at the Gates is a wildly revolutionary tale that is as raucously hilarious as it is bitterly sad, with a satirical edge that finds easy comparison with books like White Teeth, The Ground Beneath her Feet and Gravity’s Rainbow. In this, his first novel, Zinaid Meeran explores the fluid and fragmented nature of identity, and searches for the liberation of the individual from the tyranny of what he calls “groupthink”. It is about renegades living both on the murky borderlands of society and the gilded steps of privilege – places where life can be as dark as it is hopeful.
Don’t miss the launches, in Johannesburg and Cape Town, of this important new novel – we’ll see you there!
