Louis Pretorius is one of South Africa’s leading TV writers, with series such as
Die boekklub, Fynskrif and Tuiskoms. Following the success of Kompleks, he can now also call himself an award-winning YA author.
His latest book, ’n Jaar in my lewe, is set in the 90s in Limpopo and explores the budding romantic relationship between two matric boys, Liam and Martin. Chan Croeser talks to Louis and gives the audience the opportunity to ask him about his books, TV series, or life as a queer child in the countryside – all over a cup of coffee.
