"Tim Hayne's stories - all first hand, all true, and made more arresting for their lack of embellishment - focus on the devastation of Old Johannesburg. They cannot be read without a sense of loss and horror, but also of morbid fascination. Unrelenting, surgical but also wryly humorous they are, at once, evocative and luminous, a metaphor for what is left of a once-glorious metropolis now that its present-day inhabitants have inherited the debt it owed to its apartheid past." Michael Fridjhon
