Turbott Wolfe
William Plomer
“It is an inexplicable
lapse on the part of literary scholars and critics,” writes Nadine
Gordimer in her Introduction, “that Turbott Wolfe is not recognised as a
pyrotechnic presence in the canon of renegade colonialist literature
along with Conrad.” Indeed, William Plomer’s astonishing first novel,
which first appeared in 1926, ignited a firestorm of controversy in his
native South Africa. At the novel’s center is Turbott Wolfe, a British
trader who opens a general store in Lembuland. He befriends many of his
black customers but has less luck ingratiating himself with the bigoted
whites who have lived in the area for generations. Eventually, Wolfe and
his comrades embrace miscegenation as the key to Africa’s future—the
Young Africa, where the races have blurred. Provocative and deeply
questioning, Turbott Wolfe remains a powerful chronicle of the intimate human consequences of racism.
