Now he was caught in a precarious limbo, unable to return to South Africa ... He was, he had written, a "native of nowhere... a stateless man [and] a permanent wanderer", and he was running out of hope. Standing in that New York City apartment building, he faced the alien city. Then he jumped. He was 28 years old." -- Publishers's website |
