About This Book

"Let us, then, set off together on a series of journeys around South Africa with an old kitbag full of books instead of maps to guide us. Let us follow meandering paths through the landscapes of literature, and celebrate how local authors, characters and readers are shaped and inspired by place " In this gripping travelogue, Justin Fox goes on a one-of-a-kind journey. Marrying his love for travel and writing, he sets off to explore the places of his favourite books. From the mountainous eastern Karoo of Olive Schreiner to the big-game lowveld of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, from Deneys Reitz's wide-open Cape interior to the bushveld of Eugène Marais's Waterberg, Fox reveals the majestic power of place. Through the savannah of Herman Charles Bosman's Marico, the dusty plains of JM Coetzee's Moordenaars Karoo, the forests of Dalene Matthee's Garden Route, the subtropical hamlets of Zakes Mda's Wild Coast, and finally the sandstone crags of Stephen Watson's Cederberg, he brings to life the settings we've only seen through characters' eyes. Place is a moving love letter to South Africa, merging literature and landscape, and taking the reader on a breath-taking journey into the heart of South Africa's spectacular landscape and the inner-worlds of its most celebrated authors.
