Die bekende feesorganiseerder Darryl David het aangekondig dat die tweede Etienne van Heerden Veldsoirée vanjaar oor die langnaweek 22–25 September op Cradock en Somerset-Oos en in die Cradock-distrik sal plaasvind.
“2017 se Veldsoirée was iets besonders,” het Darryl gesê. “Dit was een van daardie onvergeetlike feeste waar almal vir drie dae met ’n breë glimlag op hul gesigte rondgeloop het. En die toer na Schreiner se sarkofaag – dit bly die hoogtepunt van my alternatiewe lewe as feesimpresario. Die Etienne van Heerden Veldsoirée bly my mees egte Karoofees.”

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.”
