“… ’n prikkelende, toeganklike bundel met ’n ryke verskeidenheid … fiksie en niefiksie en literêr gewigtig sowel as populêr. Dit is die ideale manier om die erflating van Eugène Marais lewend te hou en om selfs Marais-aanhangers verder te laat dink – krities én verbeeldingryk te laat dink oor hierdie belangrike literêre figuur.” Dr. Francois Smith, University of the Free State
