Der Roman ist, gemessen an verbreiteten europäischen Standards, eher ein ungefüges Buch, zusammengepuzzelt aus weitschweifigen Erzählungen von Frauen und Männern, aus einzelnen Geschichten und aus dem Wissen um die überkommene Kultur der "braunen" Bevölkerung. Der Einfluß mündlicher Erzählweisen ist nicht zu übersehen Premi e riconoscimenti
A hundred years ago, a small settlement sprang up in theNorthern Cape. A rich diversity of people moved in, as the children were born, Vatmaar became a village. A. H. M. Scholtz tells of Oom Chai, who in turn tells of a Vuurmaak, who in turn introduces someone else. Thus a chain of stories is created interlinking the fates of unforgettable characters like Lance-Corporal George Lewis and his Tswana wife, Rush, Sis Bet, Old Chetty, Hendruk, January, Tant Vonnie and her daughters as they recount tales of the Anglo-Boer War, the diamond diggings, court cases and stokvels: the tricksters and the tricked, marriages and funerals, love and betrayal. A Place Called Vatmaar is a panoramic novel: compelling, wise and humane. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
