Diary of an Exile – Steve Jacobs (Second Hand)

Pre-Owned Paperback – Paper Books Edition

Product Overview

A powerful South African literary work, Steve Jacobs’ Diary of an Exile explores identity, belonging, and alienation through two interconnected novellas — Crystal Night and Unity of an Exile.

Jacobs’ writing captures the internal struggle of a man caught between his homeland and his self-imposed exile, where memory and dislocation intertwine.
