The narrator of 'Youth', a student in the south Africa of the 1950's, has long been plotting an escape from his native country;...Studying mathematics, reading poetry, saving money, he tries to ensure that when he arrives in the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity, and transform it into art.
