 A collection of Govender's writings, stories that offers a series of narratives of life in Cato Manor from the 1940s until its destruction in 1958/9, giving a glimpse of everyday life in Indian/Zulu/colonial Natal and in the process raises larger questions about South African Indian identities—questions of alienation, exclusion, exoticism, and belonging. First apparently adapted and performed in 1990, and then published as a collection stories called  ''[[At the Edge and Other Cato Manor Stories]]'' by [[Marx Publishers]] in  1996.
