About This Item
(Cape Town: David Philip, 1998) 0864864280. 210 x 134 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. xv + (i) + 255. Cover rubbed and a bit creased; price label scar to lower cover; trace of foxing to edges and outermost leaves. Good. "As Lionel Abrahams turns 70, South African writers salute his influence on their literary careers. This book brings together poetry and fiction chosen to reflect this great man's rocklike impact. From the chilling journey through bleakness in Peter Wilhelm's 'Zeke in Yugoslavia' to the ironic joy in Pnina Fenster's 'The Killing of Cowboy Kate', this broad stretch is an engaging and enjoyable tour across the magnificent terrain of South Africa's established and emerging writers." .
