Why the Karoo? That is one of first questions Mpush Ntabeni put to Darryl David at the launch of his autobiography, BookBedonnerd: literary journeys on the road to elsewhere, which took place at the Etienne van Heerden Veldsoirée in Cradock on 24 September 2023.
The conversation meanders through churchyards, book towns, festivals and academic departments. Darryl David, the man who has started so many book festivals, also talks about his love for his wife, his daughter, his dogs and church buildings.
