(Post incl) WILLEMSDORP by Herman Charles Bosman (the anniversary edition)

Publisher: Human & Rousseau - 1998

Format: Softcover

Herman Charles Bosman's classic work about South African small-town intrigue, published here for the first time in its complete, uncut form.

Set in the steamy Northern Transvaal - just prior to the 1948 National Party election victory - this novel scathingly lifts the lid off those favourite dorp pastimes of infidelity, immorality, dagga-smoking, brandy-drinking, blackmail.....and the inevitable murder.

With the usual genial humour, added to an unholy kind of satrical wisdom, Bosman completed this work shortly before his death. Here is his last masterpiece, his 'American' novel, freshly edited from his original text.
