“Van Heerden bou in hierdie roman met ’n uitnemende verbeeldingskrag, kennis en vernuf ’n wêreld wat vir jou nuwe perspektiewe op ou vraagstukke open. Die wêreld van Charlie Oeng is ’n waardige toevoeging tot ’n gedugte oeuvre.”
Die wêreld van Charlie Oeng on sale in the author’s favourite neighbourhood bookshop, Verbatim, Dorp Street, Stellenbosch.
