Die aanspraak van lewende wesens
Ingrid Winterbach
ISBN: 9780798157063
First published in 2012, this book won major Afrikaans literary prizes, including NB-Uitgewers se Groot Afrikaanse Romanwedstryd and the Hertzog Prize for prose. The novel follows two parallel journeys - one by a man and one by a woman - each trying to make sense of loss, identity, and their place in the world. Karl Hofmeyr is a heavy-metal fan who sets out from Durban to Cape Town after receiving a disturbing call about his brother, Ignatius (Iggy), whose behaviour has become erratic. Maria Volschenk, meanwhile, travels to the Western Cape confronting emptiness after the death of her sister. Their paths eventually intersect on a strange urban farm near Table Mountain.
