A Short Walk in a Long Journey is a story about an American election observer's experience in the 1994 South African election.

There are several climatic points in the story and the final section is an analysis of present day South Africa, largely based upon research done by Goldman Sachs and UBS. The title is a reference to Mandela's autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. Views: 31
