"Indecent Exposure" is the other South African one.
Both two of his best.
Another two are the first pair of Wilt novels - "Wilt", and "The Wilt Alternative". The following Wilt based ones are relatively disappointing.
His best really use his experiences in South Africa and teaching in a Polytechnic in the UK.... classes of groups like 'Meat One' for a bunch of butchers' apprentices and so forth.
edited for ps.
just read the Guardian feature on him - I'd forgotten about "Porterhouse Blue"... another excellent one of his, based on (inspired by?) his time at Cambridge University.
