Résumé
This paper examines how the semiotic category of veridiction, which underpins the narrative structure of two South African novels, Alex La Guma’s In the Fog of the Season’s End and Mark Behr’s The Smell of Apples, serves to construct a picture of the true nature of South Africa’s apartheid regime through different forms of modality and a series of dramatic disclosures. It further seeks to analyse the nature and impact of these revelations in terms of event and affect as defined by Gilles Deleuze, and to assess the historical relevance of each text.
