Kom ons sit sommer by die tafel | Short Stories & Fiction Anthologies
André le Roux
Human & Rousseau
The author says that “documentary” or “reality” fiction allows one to comment through observation, and he creates a collage of fiction, eco-documents, quotes from newspapers, posters, and so on, to form a finely nuanced portrait of the complexities of South African society. The texts in this collection are linked through recurring themes and characters – like the dwarf, the tour guide, the widow Celliers. Written with insight and humour and a sharp eye for the incongruities of everyday life.
