  In the late 1960s, Graham Greene discovered the work of a South African novelist in which he at once discovered affinities. Apropos one of this author's works, Greene wrote in the New York Times:

"________ will not find an instant audience; his/her novels are too original for that. They tease, they trouble, they elude. His/her audience will be the audience that only a good writer can merit, an audience which assembles slowly from far away in ones and twos; while the big book club motor-coaches hurtle down the highway towards oblivion, the rumor spreads that here an addition will be found to the literature of our time."

Greene and the author in question remained friends and visited each other on occasion. Who is this great South African novelist? 		see if you know the answer
