Subtle, brutal, poignant, outrageous, hilarious ... Wide Boy will take the reader directly into the balmy streets of a summer day in 1946 Bez Valley; the the street brawls of the 1950s Hillbrow and Yeoville; to the post war euphoric boom days of Southern Rhodesia, the ensuing bush war and finally to return full circle to the sometimes murky otherworld of 'big business' in Johannesburg.
