I am the editor of the Cape Times books pages, which appear every Friday. On the last Friday of each month I write a column entitled Chapter & Verse in which I reflect on the books that made an impression on me that month. Here’s where you’ll find links where the old ones appear on the BookSA blog, and where you’ll find links to the blog posts of newer columns.
In which I:
Can a literary recounting of warstop the wholesale murder?
Consider the burning of books and Edmund de Waal’s The Hare With Amber Eyes
Figure out where I get the time to read so much
Look forward to some movies based on books
Wish a hopelessly hopeful wish
Explain why I don’t like crime fiction
Muse on fiction versus non-fiction
Wonder why we read upsetting thing
Make a case for a well-edited book
Come across violent things in writing
Consider how people arrange their shelves
Find looking books – rather than reading books – to love
