From the author: In hierdie stuk word betoog dat selfherwinning in Zoe Wicomb se "You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town" and Other Stories deur vertelkuns geopenbaar word. "Rituele rolspel", die term wat bell hooks gebruik om hierdie soort vertellings voor te stel, word in hierdie bespreking gebruik om geheue as 'n weerstandsterrein te verken. Dit herinner aan die tussenkoms van die beelde van swart ontverpersoonliking, veral in soverre dit op die stoflike liggaam betrekking het. Die redenasie is dat die vertel van hierdie verhale 'n self versin wat swartheid via breedvoerige en selfverwekte dialoogpraktyke bekragtig en dat dit ook duidelik blyk uit 'n spektrum stemme in swart sosiale kontekste. Geheue word dwarsdeur hierdie bespreking getoon as sou dit ook die erkenning en naspeur van aandadigheid wees aan dit waarop kritiek gelewer word.
