“Barbara Adair is one of South Africa’s most original writers. In
WILL, the Passenger Delaying Flight, her voice is comical, dark and
wittily allusive. Enigmatic from beginning to end, the novel (set in an
airport) never goes where one expects. The narrative is tightly woven;
yet still it soars, borne aloft by its own imaginative charge and
linguistic richness.”
