To a Dubious Salvation - Etienne Leroux

Description

Etienne Leroux’s 'To a Dubious Salvation' brings together the three novels of his celebrated Silberstein trilogy: 'Seven Days at the Silbersteins', 'One for the Devil' and 'The Third Eye'. Set against a strange and often surreal South African landscape, the trilogy follows characters caught up in bizarre encounters, mysteries and shifting struggles between the rational and the fantastical. Leroux explores ideas of religion, sexuality, power, violence and the search for meaning through a highly symbolic and often darkly humorous style. First published in English by Penguin in 1972, the trilogy introduced Leroux’s distinctive and challenging vision to an international readership and remains an important work of South African modernist fiction.
