Blog assignment for Monday

Please post a blog response of at least 350 words to Welcome to Our Hillbrow by 8pm on Sunday. I would like your writing to partially focus on the question of perspective or point-of-view in the text. Think about how the narrative point-of-view is mingled with characters' points-of-view: there is the perspective of the author himself (Phaswane Mpe), the perspective of the author in the novel (Refentse), the perspective from heaven, the perspective of rural people (from Tiragalong) on city people (inhabitants of Johannesburg), the perspective of South Africans on non-South Africans. Use examples from the text to discuss all these various perspectives and how they interact with one another.
