Description: Description on the back of published version (published in 1982 by Africasouth Paperbacks by David Philip): "Of Chocolates for my wife, first published in 1961 (and 'banned' in South Africa until July 1982), Matshikiza said, "This is a book about real people, many of them my friends, and about a few of the experiences I have share with them." It tells in his own wry, vivacious, coruscating style of black life in the Johannesburg of Orlando, Sophiatown and Alexandra Township when King Kong was in rehearsal - and in sharp contrast to this, of the adventures of the Matshikiza family in London." This book was first published by Hodder & Stoughton, London in 1961.
