Since 1951, when Herman Charles Bosman died at the age of 46 with no more than three books published, he has not only become South Africa's best loved literary cult figure by her most written about writer. Although his essays were frequently bashed out in newsprint to meet a newspaper deadline, he was a journalist caught in a synoptic timeworn that caused him to sidestep what appeared to be the major issues of the day and address himself to what he considered the true universalities. These were often things people didn't notice.
Although he was of his era, he was not confined by it: and although he represented his environment he vaulted its constraints. Like his life, Bosman's journalism was erratic and even contradictory; but it is chiefly this unevenness that gives us our sharpest perspective into some of the times and life of Herman Charles Bosman.
