A Bosman Companion Tapa blanda - 2011

Información de la editorial

This very handy reference work on all aspects of Bosman s life and work consists of short, informative, alphabetically arranged entries. Entries on his life (childhood, studies, the murder of his step-brother, prison, family, lovers, wives, friends, work associates, etc.) are interleaved with entries on his work (characters in stories, short plot summaries of each story, explanations to non-Afrikaans readers of all Afrikaans terms, etc) and on prominent critics and dramatists of Bosman s work. The book includes photographs, maps, illustrations from the magazines in which his stories appeared, a chronology (with major events in SA history and key events in Bosman s life and work), a classified contents list, and a bibliography of all Bosman s works (first publications). Also included is an 8 page color section of Bosman s paintings and drawings. Discovered by Craig MacKenzie while doing research on Bosman at the Harry Ransom Research Center, University of Texas, Austin, Bosman s art has never been published before and is one of the least-known aspects of his life and work.
