"Hoe kan 'n skrywer Weerlose Meganika opvolg? Wanneer 'n debuutwerk só 'n groot indruk maak, is 'n teleurstelling amper onafwendbaar. Anton Roodt se tweede roman is sterker, beter, snaakser én meer uitdagend - wat 'n spring forentoe!" Kerneels Breytenbach

Bloemfontein architect Anton Roodt holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of the Free State, and is a member of the Free State Art Collective.
