The Frightened by Lethokuhle Msimang is partly set in Paris. Lethokuhle herself lived and studied in Paris and has continued learning French at the Alliance Française de Pretoria. The institute has invited her to launch her novella with them. If you are in Pretoria on 20 July, this is your opportunity to meet Lethokuhle and to celebrate the launch of her stunning book with her. She will be in conversation with Thobile Ndimande.
A poetry morning next to the fireplace. Rosebank Writers and Friends gathered yesterday next to a cosy fire to listen to Kerry Hammerton speak about and read from her latest poetry collection, afterwards. I (Karina) had the privilege to ask the questions. It was a beautiful way to begin the weekend: hearing Kerry speak about her work was nourishment for the soul and the mind.
Thank you to all who attended, especially all the Rosebank Writers. Thank you also to Kim Gurney for recording the conversation and Digby Young for the photographs.
The Rosebank Writers have been meeting for almost a year now and are going from strength to strength.

Nothing – not headwinds delaying flights, nor loadshedding threatening with darkness – could distract from the welcoming, warm atmosphere of the launch of Michael Boyd’s Cape Town launch of The Weight of Shade at Exclusive Books Cavendish. Readers, family and friends arrived to celebrate this mysterious, beautiful debut novel. Michael was in conversation with Penny Haw.
Thank you to Linda McCullough and the EB team for hosting the event. Thank you, Penny and Mike, for the fascinating conversation. And thank you to everyone who attended!
Please join us for this Rosebank Writers event. It will be a morning of poetry and magic.
Tea/coffee and snacks will be served. We look forward to seeing you!
