At its centre is a community pushed to the breaking point, where a single act of violence ignites a chain of events that lays bare the brutal machinery of institutionalised racism — a story as urgent and raw today as it was upon its first publication in 1956.\n\nBloom, a South African lawyer and activist, writes with the precision of a legal mind and the passion of a witness to injustice, crafting a narrative that is at once a searing political indictment and a deeply human portrait of resistance and despair. Episode stands as a significant, if underappreciated, work of mid-twentieth-century literature — a novel that anticipates the moral reckoning of the anti-apartheid movement and asks the reader to confront where complicity ends and courage begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49131003576539,"sku":"2026100007575-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3f339c43-89ff-4a22-847d-6986e725855e.png?v=1786594385","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007575-secondhand-episode","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
