Description
Out of Line: A Memoir by Dov Fedler is an autobiography by the South African cartoonist, reflecting on more than 45 years of work as one of the country’s leading political and social cartoonists. The book looks back on Fedler’s life and career while also capturing the experiences of a particular generation of South African Jews.
Alongside his personal story, Fedler examines the history and experiences of Jewish baby boomers whose families largely descended from Lithuanian Jewish immigrants. The memoir therefore offers both a personal account and a portrait of a generation shaped by its family heritage and life in South Africa.
A good choice for readers interested in South African history and culture, Jewish South African life, autobiographies, cartooning and the personal stories behind a long career in journalism.
