Tsotsi is an angry young gang leader in the South African township of Sophiatown. A man without a past, he exists only to kill and steal. But when he captures a woman one night in a moonlit grove of bluegum trees, she shoves a shoebox into his arms: the box contains a baby and his life is inexorably changed. He begins to remember his childhood and rediscover the self he left behind.
Tsotsi's raw power and rare humanity show how decency and compassion can survive against the odds.
Athol Fugard (1932-2025) was one of the world's greatest dramatists. His career spanned over fifty years of playwriting, stage and film acting, and directing. He worked in South Africa, on and off Broadway and in London. Tsotsi is his only novel.
