"Sang Young Park is my new favorite writer, as in his work we see life in modern Korea in what I think of as a fuller way, due to the inclusion of queer lives there. This novel is bawdy, hilarious, heartbreaking, fearless."--Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel
Vir Stefan is die oorgang van seksuele dier tot voorbeeldige pa 'n naatlose een. Dis soos verskillende kamers in jou kop, se hy vir homself, wat niks met mekaar te doen het nie, waar jy kan ingaan en uitkom nes jy wil, die deure agter jou toemaak. Aan die manier van dink en handel is daar vir hom niks onsedelik of selfs ongemaklik nie; dit is hoe jy oorleef in 'n wereld wat byna om elke hoek teen homself draai. Trouens, hy is trots op sy vermoe om 'n verkleurmannetjie te wees. Nee, nie 'n verkleurmannetjie nie, eerder 'n man van vele fasette, a man for all seasons – dit verg immers 'n sekere intelligensie. Sonde van Lusinda is die verhaal van Stefan, 'n 43-jarige prokureur en eskeide pa van 'n tienerdogter, wat by 'n braai verlief raak op 'n 20-jarige model sonder matriek. "Age is just a number!" verseker sy hom. Sal hy die “blonde bom" kan weerstaan? Wat sou die impak van so 'n onmoontlike verhouding wees op sy familie, sy vriendekring en sy werk? Is dit hoe 'n midlife crisis lyk?

By the bestselling, prize-winning author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a beautiful, big-hearted, richly tapestried story of people brought together by love, war, art, flood… and the ghost of E.M. Forster. It’s 1944 and in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa, as the Allied troops advance and bombs fall around them, two strangers meet and share an extraordinary evening together. Ulysses Temper is a young British solider and one-time globe-maker, Evelyn Skinner is a sexagenarian art historian and possible spy. She has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and relive her memories of the time she encountered EM Forster and had her heart stolen by an Italian maid in a particular Florentine room with a view. These two unlikely people find kindred spirits in each other and Evelyn’s talk of truth and beauty plants a seed in Ulysses mind that will shape the trajectory of his life – and of those who love him – for the next four decades. Moving from the Tuscan Hills, to the smog of the East End and the piazzas of Florence, Still Life is a sweeping, mischievous, richly-peopled novel about beauty, love, family and fate.
Die winde van politieke verandering waai oor Hamerplein – daar waar die forse beeld van Raadslid Hamersma nou al so lank die rigting aanwys. Dit dwarrel oor die rivier, oor die skeidslyne van die verlede; pluk aan al wat ’n hoë boom is en laat ewe veel stof opstyg uit prominente posisies en obskure hoekies: Die burgemeester. Marumo. Snor de Beer. Rian Roux. Kryg Roelofse. John Oudemann. Bos Fourie. Mal Mary. Maryville. Die Wishbone. Die kloktoring … Tien jaar later moet die joernalis Wessel Wessels ’n storie aanmekaarsit uit die legkaartstukkies van dié revolusie in die kleine, en leer hy vinnig dat dit nie noodwendig demokrasie is wat die dorpsinwoners tot vrees of stilswye gedwing het nie; dis eerder die pad soontoe en terug wat die probleem is. ’n Slim, boeiende satire oor ’n land wat Suid-Afrika kon wees (maar nie noodwendig is nie) – en karakters wat jou bure kon wees (as hulle nie so pynlik op jouself getrek het nie).

been hard won: raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by a mother who

herself. |
