Chrizane se top vyf leeskeuses vir die dag: Dinsdag 18 Desember 2012
“Boekwurm-Kerskous: Wonderwoorde” (Boeke24)
“Boeke24 het skrywers gevra wat hulle in die feestyd lees en, as hulle ’n boek moet kies om as geskenk aan iemand te gee, wat dit sou wees.”
“Jonker vir die agtersak op breë gehoor gemik” (Boeke24)
“’n Sakgrootte boek oor die lewe en werk van die Afrikaanse digter Ingrid Jonker is pas in Engels gepubliseer.”
“Dek solank tafel” (Rapport)
Marlene Malan resenseer ’n paar kookboeke, betyds vir die somervakansie.
“Books that even a critic could love” (The New York Times)
“Each year at this time the daily book critics for The New York Times make lists of favorite books.”
Video: “Edna O’Brien interview – ‘You have to be lonely to be a writer’” (The Guardian)
“More than half a century after scandalising the world with her taboo-breaking novel The Country Girls, the Irish writer Edna O’Brien is still going strong. As her memoir Country Girl is published, she speaks to Jane Martinson about her ‘Mata Hari’ reputation, celebrity dinner party guests such as Judy Garland and Sean Connery, how much harder her memoir was to write than her novels, and why she has always embraced her own loneliness.”
