{"product_id":"9781096038993","title":"The Pretorian Underground: Elvis of Athos, The Big Bust \u0026 Blouwildebeest","description":"This was subterranean Pretoria in the late nineteen seventies. A lost other-world populated by scores of characters stranger than fiction with names like Blouwildebeest. An underground of alternative lifestyles where equestrian elites rubbed shoulders with lowlifes, where the ruthless businesswoman co-existed with the lumpenprole and the bohemian with the bureaucrat. Three glimpses across space and time into this now mythical realm: The saga of Fat Lynn \u0026amp; Lynn Blouwildebeest who facilitated the selling of a beast and trespassed in a college dormitory; The tale of Elvis of Athos, her allies and her adversaries and the denizens of the deep; The story of Skinner Street, the illicit retail trade and a police raid, and the poetry of defiance and resignation. Narratives of passion, perversion and prostitution in the bosom of the Apartheid beast. A parade of grotesqueries under the noses of the censors while they banned and cut and barred books and films and songs to preserve the people's purity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eSheree Rayfield, Pieter Uys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eApr 27, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e25 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1096038994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781096038993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49184184336689,"sku":"9781096038993","price":12.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781096038993__95853_0e41fa16-c474-46ab-86d1-34ff4925a6e9.jpg?v=1716639791","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781096038993","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
