Hack with a Grenade offers a newspaper editor’s perspective on the characters that shape South Africa’s psyche. In a book that is one part humor and one part social commentary, Gasant Abarder draws on his broad experiences as a journalist to tackle such issues as religion, prejudice, and injustice. Sharing tales of his encounters with people from all walks of life, he slyly encourages readers to leave behind their preconceptions and focus on the traits that are common to all humanity.
