Alert! Remember when we asked, in our post about the Witness‘ top reads of 2009, where Margaret von Klemperer’s choices were?
Turns out they were hiding at a separate link, along with the picks of Anthony Stidolph, David Pike, Thando Mgaga, Carol Brammage, Stephanie Saville and Sharon Dell, who single out BOOK SA members Sarah Lotz, Thando Mgqolozana, Fiona Snyckers and Kevin Bloom, in addition to a few other practitioners of SA Lit.
Congrats all!
Author Alexandra Fuller’s latest novel, The Legend of Colton H. Bryant, is set in her adopted home of Wyoming in the United States and tells the true story of a modern-day cowboy. Based on a series of interviews she conducted with Colton’s family and friends, the book is powerful and moving, the relative simplicity of the storyline and the small-scale tragedy it contains belying a dramatic weight, emotional wealth and sorrowful depth.

Well done, Sarah, Fiona and Kevin. I am even prouder to have had beers with you (or wines in Fiona's case). And I look forward to beers with Thando next year.
