This is a journal of news headline interpretations, featuring
Lefty, a fictitious character in whose flaws, and those of the
inhabitants of his world, we may see our own weaknesses, and
perhaps even grow stronger in their recognition...
Onthou jy nog die dae van donkiekarre, negosiewinkels, hanslammers
grootmaak en tiekiedraai in die waenhuis? Die dae toe ’n Engelsman
nog iets vreemds vir ’n Afrikaanse plaasseun was en ’n man moes kon
briewe skryf om ’n nooi te bekoor? Met Daar doer in Duitswes roep
Helm Jooste daardie dae met nostalgie en humor in herinnering. Hy
vertel met selfspot van sy eie ervarings in onder andere die ou
Suidwes: vertellings wat jou terselfdertyd laat lag en met heimwee
en deernis vul. Kom dans op maat van die Rooiduin Orkes tot
rooidag; skater en bloos oor die lywige Ant Maryntjie en die
tandlose Toks – en droom saam met ’n bobaasverteller oor die “se
nou maars” en verspeelde kanse in Jessica se blou oe. Verskeie
humoristiese vertellinge van Helm Jooste word in hierdie boekie
saamgevat. Meeste van die vertellinge handel oor die ou Suidwes.
A highly informative, entertaining, and slightly irreverent look at
one of life's great ceremonies Exposing the real-life insanity
behind those picture-perfect wedding days, this collection comforts
the soon-to-be-married with the knowledge that one's "perfect day"
doesn't have to be quite so perfect. This volume of wedding
anecdotes, superstitions, and jokes--with some statistics thrown
in--features both dream wedding days and disasters. Fresher in
perspective than a how-to guide, it offers a trousseau of tips and
short-cuts from the photographers and author and from other couples
who have been there--all stunningly illustrated by real photos of
real people enjoying real weddings.
