About this book:

In Oolog, struggle, conflict and war is examined on various levels – not only with references on a national and international scale, but especially with descriptions of intimate, personal spaces. The realities of the Cape Flats are laid bare.
With his characteristic use of narrative verse, written in enriching Kaaps, Trantraal tells stories that often hit you like a fist to the gut with their surprise endings. These poems are inventive and fearless, with dark humour but not without compassion.

Readers say

“Meesleurend, leersaam, waaghalsig, dapper, insiggewend, beeldryk, meevoerend, in-your-face en nie ? moment eendimensionaal nie: dit is my leeservaring van Oolog.”

– Alfred Schaffer


“Trantraal is ’n belangrike teenvoeter vir ’n letterkunde wat te dikwels uit voeling is met ’n groot deel van die potensiële leserspubliek.”

– Tertius Kapp
