This volume contains interviews with fourteen contemporary South
African authors: Mariam Akabor, Sifiso Mzobe, Fred Khumalo, Futhi
Ntshingila, Niq Mhlongo, Zukiswa Wanner, Nthikeng Mohlele, Mohale
Mashigo, Lauren Beukes, Charlie Human, Yewande Omotoso, Andrew
Salomon, Imraan Coovadia and Fred Strydom. The conversations with
the writers are accompanied by vignettes of the authors' lives and
summaries of their works. In curating this book, Danyela Dimakatso
Demir and Olivier Moreillon step beyond pure literary theory and
analysis by allowing the authors to speak to and assess the
literary landscape, of which they form a part and which they
co-create. However, Demir and Moreillon also trace concepts and
terms that describe the current moment of South African literature,
such as post-transitional literature and literature beyond 2000. By
adopting a world-literary approach to (post)apartheid literature,
this book makes an important contribution to debates on
contemporary South African writing. In addition, Tracing the
(Post)Apartheid Novel beyond 2000 seeks to raise awareness of the
imbalance in both critical and public attention between literary
'big names', such as Andre P. Brink, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer
and Zakes Mda, who are nationally and internationally celebrated,
and the younger and newer generation of South African writers, who
go largely unnoticed.
