Persistence is a richly imagined novel of growing up in South Africa, its political revelations leavened by absurdist humour and social satire … Even the cruelest or most ridiculous situations are tinged with the author’s sympathy as he explores the absurdities of coming of age in a repressive society … It’s not a long novel, but it’s a big one.”
– The Washington Post Tony Eprile was born in South Africa and now lives in the United States.
