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.”
