1001 nagte, 1001 wonders, 1001 gevare. Wanneer Herman Swart se tweelingsuster Herma onverwags sterf, val ’n deel van hom weg. Hy raak toenemend eensaam en onttrek in ’n węreld van ou films. Hy sien haar in sy eie spieëlbeeld en hoor haar op ongeleë tye. ’n Bykomende traumatiese ervaring versplinter sy węreld finaal en Herman verval in ’n diep koma. Hy bevind homself binne-in ’n avontuur, ’n nagmerrie, ’n węreld waarin droom, fantasie, film, vervolgverhale, musiek en die gotiese ineenvleg. In hierdie vreemde, magiese realisme beweeg hy tussen plekke, ontmoet verskeie karakters en word weggelok deur die prinses, ’n meisie wat baie aan Herma herinner. François Bloemhof het al plaaslik en węreldwyd vir talle literęre eerstes gesorg, maar met hierdie unieke lees-luister-en-kyk-ervaring oortref hy homself. Die duisend en eerste nag het geen geduld met ou, veilige storiegrense nie.

The Broken River Tent is a novel that marries imagination with history. It is about the life and times of Maqoma, the Xhosa chief who was at the forefront of fighting British colonialism in the Eastern Cape during the nineteenth century. The story is told through the eyes of a young South African, Phila, who suffers from what he calls triple ‘N’ condition – neurasthenia, narcolepsy and cultural ne plus ultra. This makes him feel far removed from events happening around him but gives him access to the analeptic memory of his people. After being under immense mental pressure, he crosses the mental divide between the living and the dead and is visited by Maqoma. They engage in different conversations about cultural history, literature, religion, the past and contemporary South African life. |
