Produktbeschreibungen
Pressestimmen
To read this autobiography by the Afrikaner novelist Andre Brink is to be sharply reminded of just how much taken for granted ... were the vile means used by the whites to keep 'keep the Kaffirs in their place' Standpoint A fascinating exploration of the white South African psyche TLS
Kurzbeschreibung
One of South Africa’s best-loved novelists writes with searing honesty about growing up in a world where innocence was always surrounded by violence. Illuminating his memoir is his life-long love affair with music, art, the theatre and literature and his relationships with remarkable women.

Writer in and outside South Africa
20. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
In this autobiographical account of his life (read in Dutch translation) as a writer Andre Brink describes his struggle as an artist in apartheid and conservative South Africa and in more recent years of ongoing violence, corruption, populism. His travels and exile, immigrant life in Paris.
Brink also opens up about his more personal obsessions, maybe sometimes too intimate, depicting himself as the proverbial egotistical artist.
Though I feel some parts (naming names of colleagues, complaining about not getting tickets for the Salzburger Festspiele) could have been shorter, indirectly Brink helps you to rethink contemporary SA history from the inside out. Most moving and honest is the chapter in which he tells about his complex relationship with the poet Ingrid Jonker.
Maybe now more actual than ever because of the changing position of Afrikaans in ANC run SA, as Brink is an Afrikaans writing author.
