The Noble Conman: Chronicles from the Life of Piet Prinsloo, a Transvaal Civil Servant, as Told by His Son-in-Law. A stunningly satirical novel that brilliantly depicts early twentieth-century South African society through the character of Piet Prinsloo, a civil servant who is like a traveling theater of errors, deceptions, and evasions. The text uses black humor to offer a scathing critique of bureaucracy, colonialism, and the ambiguous alliances between kindness and naivety, cunning and corruption. The novel is not only a social satire, but a vivid document of the nature of power in a turbulent time, where absurdity turns to logic, and the conman becomes a noble hero in his own way.
