This book tells the story of the enigma Dugmore Boetie, remembered for his posthumously published Sophiatown classic, Familiarity is the Kingdom of the Lost (1969). Through archival research and interviews it unravels the webs of fact, fantasy and myth of Boetie’s life, and exposes the highly racialised violence he and his legacy have suffered.
