I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Wicomb and listening her read from Playing in the Light when I was in Cape Town in January 2009. It is through this occasion that I learned of her. Playing in the Light is a novel of the new South Africa that deals with the complicated issues of race, relationships, and the complexities brought about by transcending those boundaries. The second half of the book is much more powerful when the story of how Helen and John become play whites is told.
