This book reflects on South African literature from the perspective
of 2020. It emerges from Duncan Brown’s experiences of three
decades of working in this field of writing and scholarship. It is
a personal intellectual exploration and an engagement with the
institutional history of literary studies in South Africa and
elsewhere. Finding My Way also attempts to find more creative,
engaging and intriguing modes of writing about literature and the
humanities universally. It seeks to recover a sense of the
imaginative, the literary, and the affective, not only as things to
value in the literary texts we read but also as ways of
understanding and reading texts, as ways of writing criticism—of
registering how books make us feel, as well as how they make us
think. Print edition not for sale in Sub Saharan Africa.
