Set in South Africa at the zenith of the mid-1980’s Durban Alternative club scene, “Uptown Saturday Night Downtown Sunday Mornings” re-captures in sensuous detail the technicoloured vibrancy of the city’s counter-culture and its struggle within the oppressive regime of the day. Charting an erratic course through Durban’s underbelly, the novel’s obtuse; sharp-focus lens pulls you into the unhinged psyche of James DuPont and the Durban he inhabits. Acidly honest, it is in turn shocking¸ poignant and seductive . An astonishingly unique testament to a lost generation and their city.

About the Author Gari Joubert was born in 1964 in Mandini, a paper mill town on the Tugela River, in what was then Zululand, South Africa. At age ten he moved with his mother and four siblings to Durban, and at thirteen, went into a foster home, remaining there until he finished high school. Following this, he was conscripted by the South African Defense Force and posted to their Counter-Intelligence unit in Namibia. Joubert returned subsequently to Durban and spent the next four years involved in the club and band scene, the counter-culture movement, fringe politics and writing. In the late 1980’s he immigrated to Europe and later settled in London where he continued to write and play in bands and met his wife. In 2005 he returned to South Africa and now lives on the Kwazulu-Natal coast.

Like the Haight-Ashbury of 60s California By Sandy Like the Haight-Ashbury of 60s California, Uptown delivers a kaleidoscope view of mid-80s psychedelic Durban in full swing. The carefree, wayward decadence of that era lifts from every page, bulleted with the stark reality of apartheid and the conscription years. The journey of James DuPont takes you on an unmissable trip. It is hilarious. And sad. It is a book that touches your heart, and the author has captured those 80s South Africa moments perfectly. It’s a time capsule ready to be released. Great read!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A parallel universe of sex, drugs and rock&roll By ShockwaveWriter When living through the time of drugs, sex and rock&roll in the US, thought we were the center of the universe. It seems there was a part of South Africa doing the same things in this "parallel" universe. Cool! A great read of their period in history.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Potent, lyrical, richly philosophical, the prose resonates with one on all the highs and lows of the multi faceted plot. .... By Kerry-Lee Jesson Gari is without a doubt an author with extraordinary talent. This, his first novel is thrilling, romantic, racy, breathtakingly tragic, that leaves the reader slightly delirious and wanting more, this is certainly no ordinary novel and no ordinary story.Uptown Saturday Night Downtown Sunday Morning is by no means an ordinary book, albeit some of the events seem larger than life! Certainly an eye opener and surreal in Gari's style of writing .... the gorgeous language, undoubtedly, is the biggest strength of the book. Potent, lyrical, richly philosophical, the prose resonates with one on all the highs and lows of the multi faceted plot.Fictionalised to whatever degree, this is quite a story....told with reckless gusto and obvious affection... you would have to be a snob not to admit to enjoying yourself!A thrilling read, leaving one taking a breath for a sequel!
