finds Gordimer's novel July's People has been black-listed: "it does not encourage good grammatical practice." cited (460) - Theroux wrote to the paper
pg 461: he reflects again on his trip to procrastinate the end - but the reflection is a mere list of the people he met, and I couldn't remember most
goes to a squatter camp though warned against it; begins by telling story of Am. girl killed there and how her parents forgave the killers - but this moving, heartbreaking story has been overshadowed by Theroux's blatant, flagrant disregard for safety; why does he stress how dangerous squatter camps are just to go, without explanation; he swears off minibuses and stays in at night and avoids "bad people," but here he makes an exception, blatantly - I am not happy
meets with a former resident of a peaceful, multi-racial, French Quarter0like community called District Six - it was taken over during apartheid
walked to sea and sees a sign that says "end of trail"
