The Dubious Salvation of Jack V.: Bath Time

When I was eleven...

Meet eleven-year-old Jack Viljee considers himself the center of his world. The son of an Afrikaans father and an English mother, wedged between a strident older sister and a favored younger sister, Jack allies himself with the family's beloved maid, Susie. Plagued by portents of doom, Jack nevertheless has firm views on race (complex), politics (straightforward), poofdas (inoffensive), God (dangerous), sex (bewildering), Zulus (frightening), and the KGB (cunning). Life is simple.
