Rian Malan has worked as a journalist in South Africa and the United States. My Traitor's Heart was his first book. He lives in South Africa.
Malan is South Africa's Christopher Hitchens, similarly touched
with genius.
*Daily Telegraph*
Cynical, lively and above all, opinionated.... Malan's writing
remains relevant and provides a fascinating glimpse of
post-apartheid South Africa.
*The Sunday Times travel section*
Hugely alive. Malan's writing is animated by anger and a savage
irony, yet it is always controlled, clear and readable.
*Sunday Herald*
Bracing, cheeky, and a damn good read.
*Spectator*
The Lion Sleeps Tonight is an arresting collection. South Africa
should treasure Malan, but it won't. One suspects he wouldn't have
it any other way.
