Question
This novel’s opening “Author’s Note” states that it “was begun in Trondheim and finished in San Francisco” while its author was on a tour of the world’s “penal and correctional institutions.” This novel’s first paragraph describes climbing seven miles to Carisbrooke via “a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills.” In this novel, an engineer obsessed with Abraham Lincoln dies in a burglary, which means he never finishes writing “The Truth About (*) Native Crime,” an essay that advocates for racial justice. The protagonist receives a letter about Gertrude’s illness at the start of this novel, which describes the murder of Arthur Jarvis by Absalom, the son of Stephen Kumalo. For 10 points, name this 1948 novel by Alan Paton. ■END■
