"His story seemed like a novel, and mine just a haiku." This doctor's tale of house calls is woven into the experience of watching his own parents decline. Disillusioned with medicine and the pressures of clinic-based healthcare, the physician instead recognizes his role in palliative care, and basks in the privilege of visiting the elderly without trying to fix the natural ailments of aging. We meet rich characters: a rifle maker who can no longer walk straight let alone shoot, a buoyant would-be mermaid with a frail heart, a senile matriarch torn by unsettled caregivers.

It was the beginning of 1976 and life was good. White South Africans danced along to Queen and ABBA. There was huge anticipation of the pending All Black rugby tour in July–and at last South Africa had TV! And then came the Soweto student uprising in June. It was the end of normal, setting in motion a series of events that culminated in the negotiated settlement of 1994. MAX DU PREEZ, born and raised in a conservative Afrikaner Christian Nationalist family, witnessed the first stones thrown on 16 June–and the first shots fired–as a young newspaper reporter.

BELONGING is not merely a modern-day Book of Genesis listing “so-and-so begat so-and-so.” Instead, it delves deeply into what it means, from a profoundly human perspective, to belong. The author reflects on the famous words: “No man is an island, entire unto himself.” He likens his emotions to those of visitors to the great monuments of Washington, D.C., who caress the names of individuals who gave their lives as the ultimate price for freedom. Through genealogical tracing, the author finds the greatest testimony to his humble background.
