Met die oorspronklike publikasie van die drie romans oor die wel en wee van vier geslagte Meissners het Ena Murray opnuut haar status as koningin van die Afrikaanse liefdesverhaal gestand gedoen. Die drieluik bestaan uit: Die Meissner-kliniek, waar ons die die stigter van die eksklusiewe privaat kliniek en sy gedugte span dokters ontmoet. Die vrede word in 'n oogwink omvergewerp wanneer 'n nuwe trolliejoggie daar begin werk ...

Maar toe die rok erg verniel, moet Doortjie dringend planne beraam sodat Ouma nie agterkom sy het dit skelm gedra nie.

De tienduizend dingen (1955) is Maria Dermoût se beroemdste boek en is in vyftien tale vertaal. Dit is die sintuiglike en kaleidoskopiese verhaal van Felicia, “mevrou van Kleyntjies”, wat woon op 'n oënskynlik paradyslike Molukse eiland, in 'n huis aan die binnebaai.

Die titel is ontleen aan 'n uitspraak van Ts'ên Shên: “Wanneer die 'tienduisend dinge' in hulle eenheid gesien is, keer ons terug na die begin en bly waar ons altyd was.” Hieruit blyk Dermoût se Boeddhistiese ingesteldheid: 'n sprankelende viering van die natuur en die lewe, en tegelyk 'n gelatenheid oor die verbygaan van tyd.

Die opvallendste tema in Dermoût se werk is verlies: verdriet oor die dood en die afwesigheid van geliefdes, oor geweld en wreedheid, en oor eensaamheid. Verdriet word getemper deur 'n omvattende liefde vir 'dinge': plante, skulpe, korale, golfies wat breek. Én deur berusting en aanvaarding van jou lot.

Wanneer ’n mens aan die ervarings van Boerevroue en -kinders tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog dink, is die outomatiese konnotasie die van konsentrasiekamplyding. ’n Fassinerende en grotendeels onbekende buitebeentjie in hierdie genre is die dagboek van Anna Barry, waaruit ’n unieke en veelkantige beeld van die oorlog na vore kom. Aan die een kant van Anna se oorlogservaring staan haar broer Japie – ’n begeesterde jong soldaat wat uiteindelik as krygsgevangene op Ceylon sterf. Hierteenoor le haar geliefde pa Thomas (aanvanklik ’n gerespekteerde veldkornet) al in 1900 die eed van neutraliteit af, en wag hy die grootste gedeelte van die oorlog in die neutrale Basoetoland uit. Vir die tienderjarige Anna is die oorlog as gevolg hiervan ’n uiters verwarrende ervaring en haar dagboek bied ’n sonderlinge blik op die gefragmenteerdheid en buigbaarheid van konsepte soos “identiteit”, “nasie” en “volk”. Die feit dat die dagboek eers in 1960 vir die eerste keer gepubliseer is en daarna grotendeels in die vergetelheid verval het, is verder veelseggend in terme van hoe Anna self verwag het haar ervarings kort na die oorlog ontvang sou word – maar ook in terme van hoe blinde lojaliteit aan sekere groepe so dikwels in die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrikaners vereis is. Die dagboekteks, geboekstut deur Ena Jansen se insiggewende en verhelderende voor- en nawoord, bied nie slegs ’n sonderlinge blik op die Anglo-Boereoorlog nie, maar is verweef met kwessies van taal, politieke mag en sosiale status wat vandag nog net so relevant is soos toe die dagboek geskryf is.

Eybers se verse was jare laas in druk. Dié keuse, uitgesoek deur Ena Jansen, goeie vriendin van haar, wys op Eybers se veelsydigheid as digter. Die bloemlesing behels o.m. die bekende "Maria", "Busrit in die aand", verse oor haar kinders, die emigrasie na Nederland, tot haar latere, aangrypende gedigte oor ouer word. Goeie poësie is tydloos, en dit blyk duidelik met dié uitgawe van Eybers se bekendste werk.

'The devil was going around again and everyone knew because it was in the papers. An usherette in the Metropole saw him at An Apartment for Peggie, eating oranges in a brown trilby; two women in Clery's Bargain Basement came upon him fingering cups in a highly suspicious manner; and The Evening Mail said pretty draper's assistant, Lily Shine, nineteen, from Cabra West, was dancing with a fellow in a brown suit when she felt something funny, looked down, and fainted.' In these unsettling tales of late 1940s Dublin, young Eily Doolin encounters the gentle foot-fetishist next door, the 'Argentinian tango-dancer' from Ballybough, the Jewish couple who introduce her to the delights of carrot cake and Chopin, the 'simple' boy who carries a secret hatred, and, in the climactic closing story, the devil himself. Along the way there are two murders, a suicide, and more illicit sex than Eily can comprehend. Ena May's post-Emergency Dublin is at once recognizable and utterly unlike all previous literary versions of the city. Her gimlet-eyed narrator inhabits secret childhood places as well as the grown-up kitchens and parlours of 'Blarney Park', twitching the veil between public and private, street and home. Ena May has created a remarkable narrative voice, perfectly pitched between the knowing and the naive, the compassionate and the sarcastic, the intrepid and the bewildered. A Close Shave with the Devil, fables of adults at play in a child's world, is a tour de force of storytelling, and a remarkable debut collection.

Written for Glasgow Unity in 1947, this extraordinarily moving play of women surviving in the east end of Glasgow of the 1930s was revived by 7:84 Company to tremendous critical acclaim. It finds in the lives of Maggie, her family and her neighbours not only all the tragedy that appalling housing, massive unemployment and grinding poverty can produce, but alo a rich vein of comedy - the sense of the ridiculous, the need for a good laugh.

One of the most important medieval writers studied in historical and literary context. Julian of Norwich, the fourteenth/early fifteenth-century anchoress and mystic, is one of the most important and best-known figures of the Middle Ages. Her Revelations, intense visions of the divine, have been widely studied and read; the first known writings of an English woman, their influence extends over theology and literature. However, many aspects of both her life and thought remain enigmatic. This exciting new collection offers a comprehensive, accessible coverage of the key aspects of debate surrounding Julian. It places the author within a wide range of contemporary literary, social, historical and religious contexts, and also provides a wealth of new insightsinto manuscript traditions, perspectives on her writing and ways of interpreting it, building on the work of many of the most active and influential researchers within Julian studies, and including the fruits of the most recent,ground-breaking findings. It will therefore be a vital companion for all of Julian's readers in the twenty-first century.

More than a million black South African women are domestic workers. These nannies, housekeepers and chars continue to occupy a central place in in postapartheid society. But it is an ambivalent position. Precariously situated between urban and rural areas, rich and poor, white and black, these women are at once intimately connected and at a distant remove from the families they serve. ‘Like family’ they may be, but they and their employers know they can never be real family.

Ena Jansen shows that domestic worker relations in South Africa were shaped by the institution of slavery at the Cape. This established social hierarchies and patterns of behaviour and interaction that persist to the present day, and are still evident in the predicament of the black female domestic worker.

To support her argument, Jansen examines the representation of domestic workers in a diverse range of texts in English and Afrikaans. Authors include André Brink, JM Coetzee, Imraan Coovadia, Nadine Gordimer, Elsa Joubert, Antjie Krog, Sindiwe Magona, Kopano Matlwa, Es’kia Mphahlele, Sisonke Msimang, Zukiswa Wanner and Zoë Wicomb. Later texts by black authors offer wry and subversive insights into the madam/maid nexus, capturing paradoxes relating to shifting power relationships. Like Family is an updated version of the award-winning Soos familie published in 2015 and the highly-acclaimed 2016 Dutch translation, Bijna familie.
