Short stories

"... stories different from anything that has been written in English in South Africa – they are fresh, honest, off the wall but simultaneously clear moments of everyday life. At the same time they owe much in tone and style to the work of Herman Charles Bosman without being in any way imitative. It is as if the short story tradition, which was interrupted by the dictates of apartheid, has been resumed" Mike Nicol

"Stories with a light touch which has the effect, as such touches at best can do, of dredging up certain shadows or resonances that go on resonating ... very affecting and  - stylistically – sure-footed to a fault" Stephen Watson
