In Sweisbril het ons te make met die middelklas en submiddelklas wereld van die voorstede onder andere Springs, Vereeniging en Kroonstad: die fisiek en geestelik gestroopte wereld van scrapyards, Seven Elevens, karavaanparke en plotte.
Die karakters is onteiendes, sukkelaars en dromers; haarkappers, petroljoggies, bankklerke, ensovoorts. Algar produkte van hul omstandighede, gelyktydig slagoffers en slagters; in hierdie wereld is daar geen ware good guys of bad guys nie.
Die optrede van die karakters is bloot simptomaties van iets wat veel dieper strek as wat hulle self besef, iets wat ontstellend en onherstelbaar is: ‘n onhoudbare uitsigloosheid, waarteen blink planne, vol whisky-flesse en selfs ‘n sweisbril maar min verweer bied.
We’ve all had that feeling: the memory of a beloved childhood book, a title mentioned in passing that you can’t get out of your head, or an out-of-print gem that seems to have vanished completely.
The search for a specific book can feel like a quest, and we want to be your trusted guide.
The Curiosity Cove is our special book-sourcing service, born from a passion for connecting readers with the exact stories they seek. If there’s a book your heart is set on but you can’t find it in our collection, don’t give up. Let us join the hunt
