Overview
Geckoās childhood is one of sheltered, almost magical innocence on a farm in Natal. He spends his days taking barefoot expeditions with his dogs and his nights listening to Springbok Radio, unaware of the cruel force in his life that apartheid will soon become. With the start of high school in the Cape, Gecko is thrust into a political and personal awakening that is both tragic and heartfelt. With conscription into the South African army looming over him, Geckoās future is as uncertain as his countryās. Blood OrangeĀ evokes the absurdity, longing, and fear of growing up white in the last decades of apartheid.
