Chrizane se top vyf leeskeuses vir die dag: Donderdag 10 Januarie 2013
“Om te weier om te wees wat jy is” (Die Burger)
“Sewentig jaar gelede, in 1942, is ’n kort biegroman in Frankryk gepubliseer: L’etranger, oftewel Die Buitestander, The Outsider. Dit was ’n keerpunt in die ná-oorlogse denk- en leefwêreld,” skryf Eben Meiring.
“Nie maklik om tier te laat praat” (Beeld)
Beeld gesels met Ang Lee, die regisseur van Life of Pi. Die rolprent het reeds in Suid-Afrikaanse teaters begin draai en is gebaseer op die boek wat deur Yan Martel geskryf is.
“The Frightening Hungarian Crackdown” (The New Yorker)
“In November, 2012, the Nobel prize-winning novelist Imre Kertész announced his retirement. The writer, who as a fourteen-year-old was transported to Auschwitz, has become one of Europe’s most eloquent and respected literary witnesses to the Holocaust.”
“Sherwood Anderson on Art and Life: A Letter of Advice to His Teenage Son, 1927” (Brainpickings)
“In the spring of 1926, Sherwood Anderson sent his seventeen-year-old son John a beautiful addition to history’s most moving and timeless letters of fatherly advice.”
“F Scott Fitzgerald in Drag (1916)” (Open Culture)
It seems that 2013 will be the year of F Scott Fitzgerald, since the Great Gatsby film is due for release and I featured a Fitzgerald article in yesterday's Booknews choice. Bet you haven’t seen F Scott Fitzgerald in drag before. Open Culture published a few questions of his Princeton days.
