Uptown Saturday Night Downtown Sunday Morning

Set in South Africa at the zenith of the mid-1980’s Durban Alternative club scene, “Uptown Saturday Night Downtown Sunday Mornings” re-captures in sensuous detail the technicoloured vibrancy of the city’s counter-culture and its struggle within the oppressive regime of the day. Charting an erratic course through Durban’s underbelly, the novel’s obtuse sharp-focus lens pulls you into the unhinged psyche of James DuPont and the Durban he inhabits. Acidly honest, it is in turn shocking¸ poignant and seductive . An astonishingly unique testament to a lost generation and their city.
