Yeah, the books by Shah and Gobodo-Madikizela are particularly un-fluffy as topics go *rueful grin*. Although actually Cambridge was the one I found almost physically uncomfortable to read; there's something about the way Phillips works the unreliable narration that made me squirm (in a good way -- it's a stunning novel -- but wow, not a comfortable read).
