Description
The Quarry by Damon Galgut is a tense South African literary thriller about murder, identity, guilt and pursuit, set against the stark landscape of rural South Africa. The story begins when a fugitive accepts a lift from a minister travelling to a new congregation, with deadly consequences when the two men meet at an abandoned quarry.
Galgut explores themes of guilt, injustice, redemption and identity through a spare and atmospheric story that gradually builds suspense. The Quarry was first published in South Africa in 1995 and is an interesting early work by one of South Africa’s internationally recognised literary writers.
