New Fiction this February from Deep South: Sunnyside Sal by Anton Krueger

January 26th, 2010 by Adele

UKZN Press is the distributor in South Africa for Deep South Publishing, publishers of this new work.

Sunnyside Sal is a jauntily narrated novella set in the tumultuous early 1990s, when a whole generation was discovering that everything they’d been taught to believe was wrong.

Fuelled by his reckless bravado and post-punk philosophy, Sal plunges into extreme situations, but his innocent experiments in rebellion lead him increasingly into hazardous realms. Although ultimately a tragic tale, Sunnyside Sal is borne up throughout by an exuberant humour.
