If you are at all interested in Africa (and imagination and sadness and poetry), please download this Harper's essay, Mandela's smile: Notes of South Africa's failed revolution written by Breyten Breytenbach, an Afrikaner poet who served seven years in South African prisons for his anti-apartheid activities. Thanks to google it is currently available as a free download online here. Harper's charges for many of its articles. I understand their need to do this to turn a profit. But it also frustrates me, as they often publish very important work that deserves the widest syndication possible.
Thanks for the Harpers link. Much appreciated
