South Africa, 1974. Apartheid has hardened into a suffocating stasis.
Beneath the outward calm of white supremacist rule, however, forces
are gathering that will soon erupt in the townships.
Ekko and Gina are white university students, rivals, lovers, and
restless spirits. Meeting in secret, they read Frantz Fanon's The
Wretched of the Earth, whose uncompromising vision begins to
overturn everything they thought they understood. As Fanon's
ideas take hold, the unthinkable begins to seem not only possible,
but necessary.
If violence sustains an unjust state, can violence also help to bring
it down?
Convinced that they must act, Ekko and Gina embark on a course
that will test the limits of political resistance- and of what they
are willing to become.
A searing political novel and a profound reckoning with spiritual
transformation, To Disappear into Light is Peter Anderson's morally
arresting call-and-response to his earlier novel, The Unspeakable.
