Unpealing the Onion: Growing up in a tough neighborhood in South Africa

My wife does not take any inter­est in the books I read. She prefers non-​fiction. She thinks I am still into Walt Dis­ney.
I dis­ap­pear from her life with a J.M. Coet­zee or a Wilbur Smith novel. I am also into Stephen Leather and Michael Con­nelly. I am one of those guys who lives in real­ity. My life is adven­tur­ous enough with­out a fic­tional fix. I grew up, and sur­vived, with respect until today, in one of the tough­est neigh­bor­hoods and envi­ron­ments in the world.
My par­ents were work­ing class.
Out­side toi­lets, show­ers, and hav­ing to walk past the angry dom­i­nant cock , who ripped open my back, only once, with his 1 1/​2 inch spurs, was the order of the day.
These writ­ers seem to have the abil­ity to sum­marise and cap­ture some of these things which I know, put them in order, and always bring the lat­est tech­no­log­i­cal advance­ments in the field to my attention.

My next com­ments will be on John Grisham , whom, I believe that I have read every sin­gle book, but will admit that I wait for the paper back.
His new book, Appeal is a block­buster.
The next arti­cle is going to cover the fol­low­ing links, so be prepared.
