The Promise : Damon Galgut in conversation with Tishani Doshi

Damon Galgut is a master of the knot, the stubborn rope which chafes and binds people to places, politics, prophets, the past. The Promise, the sharp and meditative and winner of the 2021 Booker Prize, conveys the play of power in relationships - with self, society, state - against the backdrop of post-apartheid South Africa. A white family, nettled by changing society, wrangles over a farm and a delayed promise. As South Africa churns with a violent past, turbulent politics, and the rumbles of change, Galgut weaves together the stories and struggles of relationships from both. Galgut;s other works include A Sinless Season, The Good Doctor, and Arctic Summer. In conversation with poet and writer Tishani Doshi, Galgut discusses his writing style, process, inspirations, and the essence of his latest work.
