Die vierde wedren
2011-09-20 Ek het die helmet vir Pa aangegee.Voordat hy dit sou opsit, het hy sy kop laat sak, gebid soos altyd: “Omgord my met u krag vir die stryd. Laat my teenstanders onder my buk. Amen.” Toe gee ek die handskoene ook vir hom.
Dit was die gewone ritueel.

2011-09-20 Junkets Publisher started as a one-off. In 2005 I had written Rebel Angel, a novel based on the life of the poet John Keats. I didn’t offer it to any of the mainstream publishers because I believed that at that particular time they should be publishing South African material, not books about British poets.
