At Close of Day is the author's thoughts and meditations about
old-age, ageing and the end of a life, together with memories of a
general nature to give a stirring depiction of the author’s life of
almost eighty years. The series of autobiographical books that
started with ’n Duitser aan die Kaap, Merksteen and Die laaste
Afrikaanse boek is concluded with this work. It is a highly
personal book about old-age, the process of writing and
self-determination with commentary about ageing and being old in a
modern society, and was updated for the last time on 26 April 2017,
a few days before his death. He gives practical hints and
information about the possible and probable end of his life. The
element of farewell and acceptance are obvious throughout the text.
He realises that old age becomes the main theme of his thoughts and
his daily life. The references and quotations are poignant and
speak of someone who made his reading world his living word. In the
end he explains his liberating decision about his planned suicide.
