Short Stories
Presented by Kwela, Naledi
It was Stephen King who said that a short story is like a quick kiss in the dark from a stranger. Experience this unique sensation with two debut collections that open up new worlds in short stories: Gaireyah Fredericks’ Een voet ini kabr is written in Kaaps and Kaapse Moslem-Afrikaans and captures the South African Muslim experience. Stefaans Coetzee’s Sel ses places the reader in prison, where life can be particularly hard. Short story connoisseur Donovan Greeff leads the conversation.
