Smashwords book reviews by William West

The Spirit of Harlem on Dec. 03, 2011

Felicity Savage is an intelligent writer. That was my first thought on reading The Spirit of Harlem. But then I realized that Ms. Savage didn't just tell an intelligent story. She had drawn all my emotions into the story, and I was there, not just watching events unfold, but participating silently like Patrick Swayze in Ghost. The characters couldn't hear me of course, but they didn't need to since Ms. Savage has excellent control of language, letting us know that language is so very important in the success of relationships. I wanted to shout across the dinner table, "Why don't you talk about the real problem?" But I just had to smile because Ms. Savage had already done that with this excellent story.

Pay attention here. Hilux Wesizwe takes us for a ride as Death takes a holiday to check out the nightclub scene of Johannesburg through the eyes of Griffin and his friend, Chad Morrison. I suspect that there is a little Ulysses influence in Wesizwe's style, not that that is a bad thing. After all, Joyce was the master. Despite a few grammatical issues, it is a style that seems appropriate for the story. Images come at you fast so you need to grip the arms of your chair for this ride. This dark journey does reach a symbolic enlightment at the end. Whenever we seek the meaning of life, death will have to be a part of that search, and Wesizwe does a fine job of drawing us into this search through the youth culture of South Africa.
