Jonathan Ancer’s latest book contains an extravagant variety of lies, myths, untruths and made-up stories. All of them tell the history of South Africa – although his tongue is firmly in cheek and his fingers are crossed. Ancer attempts to entertain and offend everyone in equal measure: whether it’s about the Satanic messages you’d supposedly hear in the 70s if you played a Beatles record backwards, or the fact that South Africans are special. Mercy Kannemeyer tries her best to find the truth amongst all the fiction.
