Die Serwiër

Presented by Queillerrie

Two Van der Merwes walk into a writers’ room… One of them is Carel van der Merwe, award-winning author of books like Geldwolf, Donker stroom and Kansvatter. The other is Schalk van der Merwe, historian, musician and avid reader of spy fiction. But this is not the setup for a joke: what follows is a conversation about Carel’s latest book, Die Serwiër. Schalk will interview Carel about genre fiction, the writing process, and how this thriller lifts the veil on South Africa’s entangled criminal and political underworld.
