Remembering Bosman - Herman Charles Recollected (Hardcover)

A spellbinding ragbag line-up of recollections of the star turn of the twentieth-century South African literary scene.

Included are detailed memoirs of four of his keepers of the flame: his colleague George Howard, his cousin Zita Grové, his disciple Lionel Abrahams and the unpublished chapters by his widow Helena Lake, never previously collected in book form, as well as souvenirs by his other wives and lovers.

Tributes come from his press associates, while much intimate interview material is included to complete this strange portrait of Johannesburg’s murderous blue-eyed boy.

The accumulated testimony here gives as good value as Bosman himself ever did during his embattled lifetime.
