Jurie Steyn's Post Office - Hardcover
The pieces in this selection all dating from the final year and a half of Bosman's life first appeared in "The Forum" as a weekly series. The technique Bosman emplys here is unusual. There is hardly anything in the line of narration or plot, instead, Bosman lets his story develop in the form of a conversation that takes place every week in Jurie Steyn's voorkamer, which serves as the Drogevlei Post Office.

The inside flaps and the internal non-visible, side of the jacket are slightly darkened. Herman Charles Bosman was a South African writer and journalist who became famous for capturing the rhythms of backveld Afrikaans speech although he wrote in English. He is widely viewed as the greatest short-story writer to come out of South Africa. Seller Inventory # 26359
