520    Galgut leads his readers into the developing heart of 
       postapartheid South Africa, a landscape being reshaped by 
       new waves of money and power. Adam Napier leaves 
       Johannesburg looking for a fresh start. Jobless and 
       directionless, but with a head full of literary ambitions,
       he moves into his brothers dilapidated house on the edge 
       of a backwater town. One day he encounters Canning, a man 
       who claims Adam saved his life in their school days, but 
       whom Adam does not remember at all. But he plays along and,
       for a time, enjoys all that Canning has: a vast fortune 
       and game preserve inherited from his father, and a 
       beautiful, mysterious younger wife to whom Adam is 
       compulsively, dangerously drawn. A spellbinding 
       achievement from one of the defining members of a new 
       generation of African writers. The Impostor evokes a 
       glittering world in which the moneyed old guard, newly 
       empowered black Africans, and shady foreign businessmen 
       jockey for a piece of the new South African dream.
