This projection of torture onto an artificial ahistorical continuum made possible by Brink's paradoxical retention of the rhetoric of redemptive Christian suffering is shown to distance the reader from the history of apartheid by its happy, palatable resolution of the horror of torture in apocalyptic time. |
