Imposter, Lover And Guardian’: Damon Galgut And Authorship In ‘Post-Transition’ South Africa

The article examines the role of Damon Galgut, a prominent South African author, within the context of post-transition South Africa. The paper focuses on the themes of identity, authorship, and the complexities of narrative construction in the aftermath of apartheid and the country’s political transition. It explores how Galgut’s work reflects the tensions between personal and collective histories, with a particular emphasis on the roles of the "imposter," the "lover," and the "guardian" in his novels. These figures are used to unpack the broader social and political issues of post-apartheid South Africa, such as the reconciliation of past trauma, the search for new national identities, and the challenges of living in a "post-transition" society.
