a visit to an iconic south african symbol

What is it to enter a new world in your own c0untry? 

The South African writer Johan Vlok writes about a family that moves to a village in the Karoo. The book is titled ‘Karoo Dusk’.  There is also an Afrikaner language version “Die sirkel van bekende dingen”. 

Here you find an excerpt, just to make you want to read more.

I enjoy reading about Africa. New books. Old books. By African writers. By non-African writers. Novel. History. Travel. Biographies. Autobiographies. Politics. Colonialism. Poetry.
