Dana Snyman

A new collection of stories by one of the most popular writers in Afrikaans and a self-acknowledged storiesmous (story pedlar). Stories with humour and with sadness. Of families and of strangers. In essence: stories about people. It is Dana’s respect for people that is the secret of his success as an author. He writes with understanding and sympathy about the ordinary man and woman. And he seems to have restored something vital to readers, a belief in people. “Magical reportage”, one of the reviewers called his stories.
