South African writer Damon Galgut is one of international fiction’s most decorated authors. Named a finalist for the Booker Prize, In a Strange Room relates the tale of a man traveling in Greece, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, and India. Along the way, this complex character forms—and is informed by—a series of telling relationships. “Galgut’s powerful writing is honest and insightful, polished as it is to a marble-like perfection.”—Globe and Mail
