This year’s winners of the South African Literary Awards (SALAs) were announced on Tuesday, 7 November 2017 at UNISA, Pretoria Campus.
Authors, poets, writers and literary practitioners whose works are continuously contributing to the enrichment of South Africa’s literary landscape were celebrated in an auspicious ceremony.
Etienne van Heerden is on a lecture tour in China, lecturing at, amongst others, Peking and Beijing Foreign Studies Universities.
Author Heather Costaras was at the Etienne van Heerden Veld Soirée in Cradock. Herewith her blog on the experience.
“Van Heerden displays a thriller writer’s dexterity in drip-feeding facts about the case, all the while throwing in the stories of other bit players who play their part in recreating Oeng’s world of pain and ecstasy, love and loss and above all whiteness as the colour of the blind … This novel should be translated sooner rather than later so it can contribute to the debate it promises.”
