Introduction
2003 was a good year for South African literature, particularly for fiction.
Many well-written books appeared and South African authors were
nominated for many international awards. The most visible was J.M.
Coetzee who received the Nobel prize for literature. In addition, three
South African authors were long-listed for the Booker Prize, and both of
the Africa region prizes of the Commonwealth Writers Prize went to
South Africans. Two early South African novels were turned into films,
Olive Schreiner’s The Story of an African Farm and Rider Haggard’s
King Solomon’s Mines.
A notable feature of the fiction published was the blurring of bound-
aries between fiction and non-fiction, particularly evident in the many
autobiographical novels appearing, and between adult and teenage
fiction. Authors continue to explore aspects of identity, for individuals
and for the country. This year sees less emphasis on the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission and on accounts of anti-apartheid struggle,
although these do still appear. There is instead increasing interest in
novels exploring transition, as individuals and communities face change
and must come to terms with the New South Africa. This can also be seen
in the many books using young protagonists. Many other authors turn to
the past, with a number of historical novels. Another interesting feature
is the upsurge of debut novels, particularly by women writers.
When J.M. Coetzee’s latest book, Elizabeth Costello, was nominated
for the Booker Prize it prompted speculation that he might become the

first person to win the award three times (already being the first to obtain
it twice). Any disappointment about not making it onto the short-list was
soon dispelled when he became the second South African to receive a
Nobel Prize for literature (Nadine Gordimer being the 1991 winner). The
Swedish Academy cited Coetzee’s ‘well-crafted composition, pregnant
dialogue and analytical brilliance’ in making the award. These aspects of
Coetzee’s work were largely ignored in the media frenzy which followed
the award, as, with a few exceptions, the media engaged in attempts to
obtain personal stories about this famously private author, and in specu-
lation as to whether Coetzee would attend the award ceremony. Another
factor which detracted from public appreciation of Coetzee’s achieve-
ment was the point-scoring by various political parties. In all the fuss the
actual books seemed less important.
Fortunately Coetzee was better served by the literary journals, which
continue to feature articles on his work. Only a quick glance at the critical
section of the bibliography is needed to show just how much has been
written about Coetzee. It is interesting to note that Disgrace is still the
focus of most of the research. Elizabeth Costello is likely to become
another much discussed work. A curious mix of essay and fiction, short
story and novel, Elizabeth Costello consists of interlinked short pieces,
referred to by Coetzee as ‘lessons’. Each piece can be read in isolation,
and some have been previously published, but they work best as a unit.
The book is largely made up of lectures and talks given by Elizabeth
Costello, a world-renowned author, or by debates with other people, and
touches on issues such as the novel in Africa, the rights of animals and
the meaning and role of literature. Together they form a complex
and intriguing vision of literary celebrity and the struggle for meaning.
Barbara Trapido was also long-listed for the Booker Prize, for
Frankie and Stankie. Trapido was born in South Africa but now lives
in England. In this autobiographical novel she returns to South Africa,
in a tale of a young girl growing up in a dissenting liberal family in the
1950s and 1960s. Both Trapido and Diane Awerbuck have indicated in
interviews that their novels are pure autobiography. Awerbuck’s
coming-of-age novel Gardening at Night shows a young girl growing up
in the 1980s and 1990s, and, as with Trapido, follows her from child-
hood through her adolescence and student years. Gardening at Night
won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Novel for the
Africa region.
Damon Galgut’s The Good Doctor won the award for best book
overall in the Africa region section of the Commonwealth Writers Prize,
as well as being short-listed for the Booker Prize and the South African
Sunday Times Prize. Set in a run-down state hospital in a former South
African homeland, the narrator of The Good Doctor, cynical and
South Africa 115
dispirited, is confronted by an enthusiastic young doctor doing com-

munity service, setting up a clash between idealism and resignation.
Rayda Jacobs won both the Herman Charles Bosman and Sunday
Times prizes for her latest novel, Confessions of a Gambler. This is an
account of a woman who leads a double life as a devout Muslim by day
and a compulsive gambler at night. Written with a wry and sardonic
voice, Jacobs explores the clash between desire and duty, and works to
undermine stereotypes of Muslim women.
Nadine Gordimer turned 80 in 2003, but shows no sign of slowing
down as a writer, or of losing her significance in South African literary
studies. A collection of critical articles devoted to her novel Burger’s
Daughter appeared, edited by Judie Newman and Gordimer herself had
a new collection of short stories. The stories in Loot are not confined to
South Africa, and cover a range of subjects, from the political to the
sensual, with an emphasis on the interior life.
Another octogenarian, June Drummond, saw her sixteenth novel,
Loose Cannon, a political thriller set in the Middle East, win the South
African Writers’ Circle Quill Award. Also writing popular fiction with
settings far away from South Africa is Dave Freer. Freer is one of the
few South Africans writing science fiction and fantasy, and doing so pro-
lifically. He has three novels in the bibliography, co-written with
American authors Eric Flint and Mercedes Lackey. Shadow of the Lion
and its sequel, This Rough Magic, are alternative histories, blending
historical romance and high fantasy. Pyramid Scheme bridges science
fiction and fantasy when an alien pyramid appears on earth and trans-
ports people into worlds of mythology.
If science fiction is not a popular genre with South African authors,
magic realism is increasingly so. Patricia Schonstein Pinnock has made a
name for herself as a writer of children’s stories. With her second novel,
A Time of Angels, she blends magical realism with themes of war, love,
betrayal and death. Set in the contemporary Cape Town community of
Italian-Jewish immigrants yet overshadowed by the Holocaust, the story
revolves around Primo, a magician who uses magic to win back his wife
and accidentally summons up a most unexpected devil. H. Jaye-Parker’s
debut novel, Wednesday’s Child, deals with the complex and transgres-
sive relationship between a middle-aged social worker and a teenage
street child, making extensive use of intertextual references, particularly
to fairy tales. Telling the story through diary entries, letters, memories,
conversations and dreams blended with the narrative, Jaye-Parker blurs
the boundaries of reality and fantasy in a challenging and disturbing
book. Similar elements are used in very different ways in Gogo’s Magic
by Morag Vlaming in which two children are forced out of their home by
their father’s girlfriend. What might have been a straightforward novel
of street children encountering poverty, crime and exploitation is trans-

formed into fable through Siphiwe’s magic pouch given to him by his
grandmother, or gogo, which gives him the ability to talk to animals and
so rescue his sister and find their father.
This novel highlights the blurring of boundaries between adults and
children’s literature. With so many coming-of-age accounts, a child pro-
tagonist is no guarantee that a book is written for children. New novels
by Reviva Schermbrucker and Dawn Garisch have proved particularly
difficult to categorise, with both books being reviewed as teenage fiction
as well as adult literature. Schermbrucker’s Lucky Fish is set in the 1960s
and focuses on the teenage children of political activists. The coming-of-
age plot is complicated by the protagonist also having to deal with the
imprisonment of his parents. Babyshoes by Dawn Garisch is a bittersweet
coming-of-age novel. When David’s mother walks out and his stepfather
talks of putting his baby half-brother into foster care, David determines
to give his brother the secure family he never had and heads out to make
a new start as an eighteen-year-old single parent. This is a moving novel
with no easy answers or simplistic happy endings.
Lynette Brasfield takes her protagonist back to childhood in her
debut novel, Nature Lessons. Now living in the United States of America,
Kate returns to South Africa when her mentally ill mother goes missing.
In finding her mother, she must also find herself, travelling back in
memory to her childhood. This is a poignant reflection on love, loss and
guilt, and explores the impact upon children of growing up in the shadow
of mental illness. Annelie Botes usually writes in Afrikaans. Her first
English novel, Riddle Child, also published in Afrikaans as Raaiselkind,
explores the devastating impact of autism on a family. Both Brasfield and
Botes move between past and present in their novels, as does Marguerite
Poland in Recessional for Grace. A researcher working on naming prac-
tices for indigenous Nguni cattle becomes caught up in the life, and
doomed love affair, of her subject, a researcher in the 1940s. The meta-
fictional aspects of biographical writing and research as well as the sym-
bolism of Nguni cattle infuse Poland’s writing. Poland, who has a degree
in the symbolism of cattle names, worked with David Hammond-Tooke
and artist Leigh Voigt on The Abundant Herds: A Celebration of the
Cattle of the Zulu People, which gives some insight into the fascination
with cattle which is a central motif in her novel.
Debut novels by Katy Bauer, Gita Gordon and Praba Moodley are
set firmly in the past. The Track by Bauer is set in the Karoo outback a
century ago, where fortunes were being made and lost with the ostrich
feather industry. The railway track which connects the rural communi-
ties and farmers to each other is used to link the stories of the large cast
of quirky characters. Some stories are humorous, while others record
South Africa 117
poverty and abuse. Gordon, in South African Journeys, tells of Lithuan-

ian Jews emigrating to South Africa in an attempt to escape persecution.
Moodley writes of the early years of the indentured Indians in The Heart
Knows No Colour. The inter-racial romance at the centre is at times
clichéd, but the real interest is in Moodley’s portrayal of the early social
and political struggles of the Indian community. Other promising debut
novels came from Karen Cochlovius and Willemien de Villiers. Desert
Varnish by Cochlovius is rather episodic but with well-drawn characters
and detailed descriptions of the life and work of a woman geologist in a
male-dominated field. De Villiers’ novel, Kitchen Casualties, traces the
effects of a dark secret on four generations of women. Food is a central
motive, with the kitchen a backdrop to a story told through flashback and
memories.
With The Cry of Winnie Mandela, Njabulo Ndebele blurs the bound-
aries between biography, essay and fiction. In this novel four women are
separated from their men by exile, migrant work, political activism and
infidelity. As they wait, they question their lives and engage in imaginary
conversations with Winnie Mandela. Their stories are interspersed with
musings on the life of Mandela and the myth of Penelope waiting for
Odysseus. Antjie Krog further blurs boundaries in A Change of Tongue,
which is difficult to categorise and even harder to summarise. This book
blends fiction, autobiography, social commentary and poetry in an evoca-
tive exploration of identity and belonging. Krog’s contribution to litera-
ture was recognised with an honorary doctorate from the University of
Stellenbosch and her popularity was confirmed when A Change of
Tongue won the Book Data Booksellers Award. Her book about the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Country of My Skull, was made
into a film, yet to be released.
The quest for truth and reconciliation is at the centre of Jo-Anne
Richards’ latest novel, Sad at the Edges. Set in Johannesburg in 1996, a
journalist covering the TRC is forced to confront her own life, and the
ongoing effects of her imprisonment as a student activist. At the same
time her younger cousin is trying to find her place in a society in tran-
sition. Touching on issues of affirmative action, increasing crime and
political correctness, Richards reflects the curious blend of hope and fear
of this time. Michiel Heyns sets his second novel, The Reluctant Passen-
ger, in Cape Town, where similar struggles are taking place. An environ-
mental lawyer takes on a case to save a troop of baboons threatened by
land development. He soon finds his ordered life completely disrupted
and is forced to question his identity, his sexuality and his position in a
transforming South Africa. Heyns weaves fiction, urban legend and
allusion to current events into a tale filled with idiosyncratic characters
that is compelling, satiric and very funny. Boundaries by Farida Karodia
is the story of a small town largely untouched by transformation. The

community is forced to come to terms with the New South Africa when
a multi-racial film crew arrives in the town and the prospect of tourist
development looms. Pamela Jooste’s People like Ourselves depicts
Johannesburg socialites struggling to adjust to a new world where they
are increasingly irrelevant, as well as their almost invisible servants who
have their own stories to tell.
A number of strong anthologies of short stories appeared, including
Identities, Post-Traumatic and Urban03, with the titles a good indication
of some of the recurring themes in current fiction. New collections from
Sheila Kohler and Norman Silver appeared, along with Lynn Bedford
Hall’s debut collection, Fig Jam and Foxtrot, a series of interlinked short
stories, interspersed with recipes attributed to each central character.
A collection of stories translated and retold by A.C. Jordan, Tales
from Southern Africa was reprinted, as was his classic novel The Wrath
of the Ancestors. Herman Charles Bosman’s collection Ramoutsa Road
was reissued while two new collections of his writings were brought out
posthumously, the autobiographical My Life and Opinions and a collec-
tion of juvenilia, Young Bosman. H. Rider Haggard’s novel King
Solomon’s Mines has not been out of print since first published in 1885.
The bibliography shows another edition, as well as a new Haggard publi-
cation. His novella, Allan’s Wife and other short stories featuring Allan
Quatermain were brought together in Hunter Quatermain’s Story.
Mary Renault’s trilogy of novels about the life of Alexander the Great,
Fire from Heaven, The Persian Boy and Funeral Games was reprinted.
Miriam Tlali’s novel, Muriel at Metropolitan was heavily edited when it
was first published. It has now been republished using the title Between
Two Worlds.
A number of South African authors were born in 1903, including
H.I.E. Dhlomo, Fay Goldie, Rosalie Liguori-Reynolds, Kathleen
Lindsay, Neville Nuttall, Alan Paton and William Plomer. It is appropri-
ate that in their centenary years both Paton and Plomer have their best-
known novels back in print. Plomer was a prolific writer who produced
many books of poetry and fiction. His best known novel, Turbott Wolfe,
was written when he was nineteen. It was originally published in 1926 and
again in 1980, together with a selection of critical articles exploring the
contemporary reaction and ongoing relevance of the novel. The 1980
edition was reprinted in 2003. While it is wonderful that the novel has
been made available for a new generation of readers, it is a pity that the
1980 text was simply duplicated. It would have been interesting to update
the critical articles and give a sense of current critical opinions on Plomer.
Alan Paton’s most famous novel, Cry, the Beloved Country, was also
reissued. This had less to do with the centenary of his birth than with the
South Africa 119
popular power of American talkshow host, Oprah Winfrey. Cry, the

Beloved Country was selected for Oprah’s Book Club Classic Series and
within a week had become a bestseller in the United States, prompting
the publishers to print an additional million copies. It is to be hoped that
Oprah’s influence will introduce new readers to this novel. The enduring
impact of this book in South Africa can be seen in the parodying of the
title in two works of humour, Laugh, the Beloved Country and Cringe,
the Beloved Country. In South Africa, a play, adapted from Paton’s book
by Roy Sargeant, toured the country, winning enthusiastic audiences as
well as a Fleur du Cap Theatre Award.
Novelist, artist and actor Antony Sher’s first play is also based on a
book. I.D. was inspired by A Mouthful of Glass by Henk van Woerden
which looked at the life of Demetrios Tsafendas who assassinated South
African president, Hendrik Verwoerd in 1966. The play mixes drama and
politics in an exploration of identity, belonging and outsider status.
Identity is also a dominant theme in Greig Coetzee’s satirical comment
on South African society, Happy Natives. Two actors are trying to
produce a piece of corporate theatre to attract foreign investors, with the
brief to have no politics but plenty of happy dancing natives. It is thought-
provoking, yet very funny. Pieter-Dirk Uys is better known as a satirist.
However in Auditioning Angels he turns to straight theatre, in a hard-
hitting play with few laughs as he explores the darker side of the new
South Africa, centering on child abuse and AIDS babies.
Published plays seldom capture the impact of live theatre. When the
plays rely as much on spectacle as script this is even more difficult. The
Plays of Miracle and Wonder is more than just the text of Brett Bailey’s
intriguing and often controversial plays Ipi Zombi?, iMumbo Jumbo and
The Prophet. Bailey includes photographs, production notes and sketches,
reflections on the inspiration and writing of each play and records of their
tours. In sharp contrast is Chris Mann’s more meditative work, In Praise
of the Shades, although the theme of identity also prevails. Mann is best
known as a poet and the text of the multimedia production consists pri-
marily of poems, an interesting blending of poetry and drama.
If 2003 was a good year for fiction and drama, poetry did not fare as
well. The poets Peter Kantey, Isabella Motadinyane, Zinjiva Winston
Nkondo and F.T. Prince all passed away. There was also the closure of
Snailpress, a small publishing house run by poet Gus Ferguson which has
brought out more than 70 books of poetry in its 25 years of existence,
as well as nearly 20 under the imprint of Firfield Press. Established poets
such as Lionel Abrahams and Don Maclennan, along with newer voices
such as Fiona Zerbst and Mzi Mahola were published by Snailpress. For-
tunately Ferguson will be continuing with Carapace, the poetry journal
which he edits. Ferguson is to be applauded for his work in promoting
poetry and enabling poets to see their work in print. While two new
journals, Green Dragon and Echoes, have appeared recently, in terms of
book publishers the situation is bleak, with few commercial publishers
willing to take on collections of poetry.
Yet poets have continued to write and to work to get into print
through small independent poetry presses or self publication, an increas-
ing trend in South Africa. In some cases a group of poets publish collec-
tively. Two noteworthy publications were Passover by the Ecca Group of
poets who have been producing group books for many years, and Trie by
three younger poets, Ndlovukazi Duduzile, Kabelo Mofokeng and
Yoliswa Mogale. Vonani Bila, himself a poet with a CD collection of
poems out, is also responsible for the Timbila Poetry Project. In addition
to the journal, Timbila, the project brought out a number of collections
which blurred the boundaries between anthologies and individual col-
lections. Insight and Throbbing Ink each brought together six poets,
some established and some new voices, with each poet getting 15 to 20
pages for their work.
One of the more impressive debut collections was Apocrypha by
Mbongeni Khumalo, published by Timbila. Khumalo also appears in
Throbbing Ink and the special issue of Timbila, Nine Black Poets Spit Fire
in Grahamstown Arts Festival 2003. In Apocrypha, Khumalo reveals a
strong and angry voice, with poems about race, oppression, poverty,
politics and betrayal. Equally strong is the first book by Deborah Stein-
mair, A See-Through Suitcase, also the first book by a new publisher,
Genugtig! Steinmair’s poems explore friendship, love, family and failed
relationships without sentimentality, and indeed, with a slight cynicism
and touch of humour. A moving sequence of poems looks at a cyber
affair; one of these is Remote Caress in which she writes that ‘home is
where you hang your @, cyberspace is where you store your dreams’.
Michelle McGrane and Kobus Moolman both won awards for their
debut collections of poetry, and this year produced new books which
should cement their reputations. McGrane won the South African
Writers’ Circle annual poetry competition in 2003 and in Hybrid she
brings together a collection of poems that explore love and loss, gender
issues, nature and mental illness. Her poems range between moving,
meditative, cynical and quirky. Kobus Moolman won second prize in the
BBC African Performance 2003 radio drama competition for his play,
Soldier Boy. His book, Feet of the Sky, includes three prose pieces musing
on poetry and its meaning as well as many fine poems.
Poet and novelist Tatamkhulu Afrika passed away at the end of 2002.
A posthumous publication of poems selected from his previous eight col-
lections and including some poems from his unpublished manuscripts
appeared in 2003. Nightrider reveals the range of Afrika’s writing, with
South Africa 121
poems touching on religious, political, social and personal topics. This

selection provides a good overview of Afrika’s work, as well as being an
excellent introduction to new readers. A veteran of thirteen volumes of
poetry, Don Maclennan has two self-published collections out. Both
Under Compassberg and A Letter to William Blake feature controlled
and moving poems exploring issues of aging, loss, death, memory and
regret as well as musings on creativity and poetry. Death is at the core of
Joan Metelerkamp’s Requiem, a moving sequence of poems written after
the death of her mother. Each poem’s title is taken from a line in the
Requiem mass; in some cases the connection to the mass is direct, in
others more subtle. The poems are poignant and powerful, exploring life
and death, mourning and guilt yet avoiding sentimentality or self-pity.
Very different in tone are Drive-Thru Funeral by Aryan Kaganof and
The Second Chapter by Lesego Rampolokeng. Both poets push the limits
of language and poetry, producing works filled with energy, often scato-
logical or subversive. Kaganof includes poems that are erotic, surreal,
anarchic and sometimes moving, while Rampolokeng’s poems are more
angry and include images of violence and betrayal. Both poets’ work is
challenging and controversial. In a year where death and darkness
feature strongly, Gus Ferguson’s Arse Poetica: Musings on Muse Abuse
provides a quirky and irreverent look at poetry and writing. The decep-
tively light verse and drawings comment on issues such as writers’ block,
inspiration, poetry readings and critics.
Poetry was well served by one of its critics with a collection of inter-
views with poets, edited by Robert Berold, himself a poet and past editor
of New Coin, the journal in which the interviews first appeared. South
African Poets on Poetry: Interviews from New Coin 1992–2001 allows
some 16 South African poets and a few poets from other countries to
discuss their influences and thoughts on poetry and literature in South
Africa. While this book is a wonderful addition to literary studies it is
interesting that in the criticism this year, poetry has largely been ignored.
There are interviews and reviews, but very few critical articles, and those
that do appear are on extremely well-known poets such as Roy Campbell
and Douglas Livingstone.
Rolf Solberg’s South African Theatre in the Melting Pot is also a collec-
tion of interviews, in this case with dramatists. The performing arts
feature strongly in the criticism this year, with much discussion of theatre,
film and television. The emphasis on personal accounts as seen in the
books by Berold and Solberg is echoed in the non-fiction section of the
bibliography, with a large number of autobiographies, biographies and
collections of interviews. Most of the awards for non-fiction literature
went to books in these genres. The Recht Malan Prize for non-fiction
went to Herman Giliomee’s The Afrikaners: Biography of a People and
the Sunday Times non-fiction prize was awarded to Pumla Gobodo-

Madikizela for A Human Being Died That Night. Many general awards
for literature were won by non-fiction books. Hugh Lewin won the Olive
Schreiner Prize for Bandiet: Out of Jail, his account of his experiences as
a political prisoner in South Africa, Elinor Sisulu won the Noma Award
for Publishing in Africa for her biography, Walter and Albertina Sisulu:
In Our Lifetime (both published in 2002).
Along with personal accounts, history is a major feature in the non-
fiction and criticism published this year. This is perhaps to be expected
as the country continues to re-examine its past. A number of books
explore the intersection of history and literature. In Making Sense of
History in New South African Fiction Sten Moslund examines literature
as a counter-discourse and disruption of history, focusing on novels by
Mongane Wally Serote, Mike Nicol and Zakes Mda. In Narrative as
Creative History Aubrey Mokadi examines the depiction of one historical
event, the 1976 Soweto Uprising, in novels by black authors, focusing on
Mbulelo Mzamane, Miriam Tlali, Sipho Sepamla and Mongane Wally
Serote. Jack Kearney in Representing Dissension discusses white writers
in the first half of the 20th century, looking at contemporary represen-
tations in fiction of historical events such as the Bambatha Rebellion as
well as examining portrayals of unrest in fiction. This interest in the past
can be seen in the number of critical works on the Victorian period, with
the appearance of books on Victorian culture, travel writing and
representations of colonial Africa, and increasing attention being paid to
authors such as Rudyard Kipling, H. Rider Haggard and Olive Schreiner.
A work which includes aspects of travel, history, biography, criticism
and creative work is Jeanette Eve’s A Literary Guide to the Eastern Cape.
Eve takes the reader on a tour of the Eastern Cape Province of South
Africa, discussing various places and then showing how different writers
have responded to each place. This book has been well received and has
served to increase awareness of the richness of the work of South African
authors.
The South African government instituted a new series of national
orders to recognise ordinary South Africans, including the Order of
Ikhamanga for excellence in the fields of arts, culture, literature, music,
journalism and sport. Among the first recipients were authors Bessie
Head, Alex La Guma and Olive Schreiner. It is perhaps a telling sign that
the awards for literature were almost completely ignored by the local
media. In addition to awards already mentioned, the Sanlam Literary
Award in 2003 was for poetry. The restricted section (for previously
unpublished poets) was won by Gordon Stuart, and the open prize was
shared between P.R. Anderson and Finuala Dowling. Dowling also
received the Ingrid Jonker Prize for her 2002 collection, I Flying. Fleur
South Africa 123
du Cap Theatre awards went to Lara Foot-Newton for Tshepang and

Nadia Davids for At Her Feet. Achmat Dangor’s novel Bitter Fruit was
short-listed for the Impac Dublin Literary Award.
