#OurBrilliantFriends

On June 15, 2021 #OurBrilliantFriends returned for an international literary event hosted in partnership with Lambda Literary!

Twice-shortlisted for the Booker Prize, South African author Damon Galgut discussed his latest novel, THE PROMISE, with Peter Cameron, author of WHAT HAPPENS AT NIGHT.

Set in South Africa, THE PROMISE is a sweeping family saga that ”carries within it the literary spirits of Woolf and Joyce” (Claire Messud, Harper’s Magazine: https://bit.ly/3gy5kIg). Haunted by an unmet promise, the well-off white Swart family loses touch after the death of their matriarch.
Periodically reunited over the following three decades, the Swarts’ fate reflects the national mood in South Africa, at once mired by resentment and enlivened by renewal and possibility. THE PROMISE is an epic saga that unfurls against the unrelenting march of national history.
