A lyrical memoir steeped in memory and place, I Remember King Kong (The Boxer) by Denis Hirson evokes the textures of South African childhood through a series of poetic recollections. Each vignette begins with I remember, creating a rhythmic meditation on personal and collective nostalgia, from the taste of Marmite and syrup to the sounds of LM Radio and the cultural pulse of Johannesburg.

Hirsons narrative unfolds like a mosaic of momentssome deeply personal, others shared across generations. The book captures the dissonance between past and present, illuminating how memory shapes identity in post-apartheid South Africa. With its blend of intimacy and historical resonance, this memoir invites readers to reflect on the emotional landscapes of home, exile, and belonging.
