ReplyDeleteThis is some splendid news, I can't wait to have the book in my hands already. Big ups to all those who contributed in honouring the great Old Man and his suberb work over the years... The Daily Sun Man sure deserves to be celebrated. Word is bond.
ReplyDeleteThis is a book that one should surely have in one's library. Mr Qoopane has dedicated his life to reading and writing, and his flamboyant personality would always add gloss to such a work
