'Waarom kan Uys Krige die goue seun van die Suid-Afrikaanse letterkunde genoem word? Daar was sy skeppende en intellektuele gawes, sy absolute integriteit en onomkoopbaarheid op literêre en politieke gebied. Daarnaas sy kinderlike eenvoud en verwondering oor dinge. ... Hy is joernalis, wêreldreisiger, kosmopoliet, leef soms boheems. Lang tye in Frankryk en Spanje vind neerslag in sy reissketse, verhale, gedigte en belangrike toneelwerk soos Die goue kring. Hy beleef die buiteland as talentvolle rugbyspeler (seun van die legendariese senter Japie Krige!), as romantikus, en as oorlogverslaggewer en krygsgevangene tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. ... Dié indringende biografie omvat letterkundige ontledings, vinjette van ander boeiende figure soos Roy Campbell, Guy Butler, Jack Cope en Ingrid Jonker asook die ontstellende redes vir die nie-bekroning van Uys Krige se werk. Hy word beleef as 'n man van vele "plesierige liefdesaffêretjies", as bruisende prater, hoofkarakter in verskeie amusante staaltjies. Maar ook as iemand wat depressie, wanhoop, siekte en 'n ongelukkige huwelik geken het. Die goue seun: Die lewe en werk van Uys Krige is 'n positiewe, inspirerende werk. Dit straal 'n lewenshouding uit wat Krige self só verwoord: Sonneblom / Na die bron / van alles, die son / één beurende drang / één goue verlang!' .
