Switching from comedy to sensitive observation to action and back, there are no dull patches in this complex plot. In Underground People 'the struggle' is the story. With its double-dealing operatives and political shenanigans, Underground People brings elements of a political thriller into a sophisticated human drama - a sparkling new addition to South African writing on the apartheid era.
