Harold Strachan published his first book, Way Up Way Out: A Satirical Novel, five years ago at the age of 72. A South Africa Air Force pilot in the war, he became an art teacher in the 1950s and was active during the 1960s in the Communist Party and Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC. He was imprisoned for four years and held under house arrest for ten years after that.

His second book, from which the story in this issue is taken, has yet to find a publisher. Dan Jacobson will write about Way Up Way Out in the next issue.
