The Plumber in Age of Iron
By J.M. Coetzee
The Plumber
He's the guy who opens his car door into Bheki and John's bicycle. We can't really say that he causes the accident, though – everyone in the novel generally agrees that the police are to blame here. The plumber isn't entirely a bad guy – he seems pretty sympathetic to their predicament.
