When he died in 2014, author Chris van Wyk left behind an impressive
literary legacy. The scope of his work was broad – poetry, children’s
books, short stories and biographies. But perhaps he is best remembered
for his memoir Shirley, Goodness & Mercy, which chronicles his
growing up in Riverlea and introduces us to the colourful characters
who helped to shape his life and inform the stories he wrote.
The public persona of this witty and wise raconteur was well known, but
behind it was a family man, who liked nothing better than to spend time
with his two sons Kevin and Karl, his wife and childhood sweetheart
Kathy, and the friends and family who were his primary sources of
inspiration.
Using the unique vantage point of oldest son, Kevin van Wyk’s astute
observations of his father and the strong bond they enjoyed throughout
Chris’s life have resulted in a memoir that is as affectionate as it is
entertaining. In taking us behind the scenes into the Van Wyk
household, we witness the inner workings of the mind of a storyteller,
from the flowering of his father’s activism, wit and wisdom to the
sources of his occasional quirky outbursts. If storytelling runs in the
genes, Kevin may just be proof that his father’s spirit lives on.
