Twenty years after the publication of his best seller My Traitor's Heart, there's still fire in his belly when it comes to the struggle against suffocating political rectitude. These twenty-seven pieces span the range of his magnificent obsession. Malan eviscerates politician, provokes rapid fury in Aids activists, pursues justice in the music industry, and exults in the company of an extraordinary cast of characters from truckers to tycoons.
