Small book of stories about people who live in an apartment block in Johannesburg witten by the Superintendent . Human interest little sketches and capture the mood and feeling of an apartment block lifestyle of the city in the 1960 . it is about the people who live there and interesting because this was apartheid Johannesburg when servants (and even people who lived in flats has them ) could live in the block but in small rooms on top of building ...
