Diereriem

Presented by Tafelberg

Etienne van Heerden’s new novel marks a surprising turn in his oeuvre: a literary spy thriller that doubles as a story of tragic love and a travelogue. Three Stellenbosch students are recruited as agents for the mysterious “Diereriem” (Zodiac) and become inextricably linked by a campus tragedy. Diereriemtells the story of Antonie Vermeulen (code name Muskeljaatkat), who must carry out a chilling assignment involving one of his fellow agents. Thys Human joins the author in a discussion that mirrors the expansive scope of the book.
