Summary

In the 1980s, a small man is pulled up out of the Indian Ocean in Port Pallid, SA, claiming to have been kidnapped as a baby. The Sergeant, whose job it is to sort the local people by colour, and thereby determine their fate, peers at the boy, then sticks a pencil into his hair, as one did in those days, waiting to see if its stays there, or falls out before he gives his verdict. So begins the odyssey of Jimfish, a South African Everyman, who defies the usual classification of race that defines the rainbow nation.
