Detail: | Printed by Paarl Print. Pages: 132. ISBN: 186872672X. Softcover. Condition: Book: Fair to Good. . First Edition. First Printing. Cringe, the Beloved Country is a rip-snorting celebration of trashy things and people that have sent delightful shudders down the national spine over the last forty years. Included are Jani Allen's liaisons with Eugene Terre'Blanche, PW Botha's wagging finger, Allan Boesak's struggle with the Ten Commandments and Susie Jordan's cosmetic surgery that has left her head as numb as 'a long-lost Rainbow chicken'. Interspersed are profiles of beauty queens, sports stars and TV personalities. The title showcases local culture from Kubus to picture comics. There is the poetry of Pik Botha, the Germiston haircut and the organisation formed 'to crush the evils of the miniskirt'. And don't forget rope cornices, cork wall tiles and 'South Africa's own car' - the Ranger. |
