Place

Want a degree-equivalent reading list of South African fiction? Justin Fox’s Place will do the trick. For it, the well-known author and journalist travelled to and wrote about the rural settings of some of the country’s most famous books. Chapters run from the likes of Zakes Mda’s Wild Coast to JM Coetzee’s Moordenaars Karoo and Herman Charles Bosman’s Groot Marico – each one, a love story of land and literature, past and present.
