Ed Van Inligtingstelsels
R60.00 Buy NowEd is al bykans twintig jaar lank ‘n maatskappyman. Sy vrou het hom gelos en hy is moeg vir sy werk, vir sy gefrustreerde ambisie as skrywer, en veral vir die gevoel dat absoluut niks is soos dit moet wees nie. Dit lyk vir hom meer en meer asof hy nie anders sal kan as om drastiese stappe te doen nie … Hierdie roman gaan alkoholiste na die AA laat stroom; kantoorwerkers daardie gastehuis in Waterval-Boven waaroor hulle droom, laat oopmaak; dit sal verslind word soos ’n honger mens ’n bord Spur-chips met ’n lekker sousie daaroor geniet. Veral vir bewonderaars van werkersklasromans soos Somer II en Bright Lights, Big City, en kenners van oopplankantore.

I’m The Girl Who Was Raped
R130.00 Buy NowThat morning, Michelle presented her Psychology honours thesis on men’s perceptions of rape. She started her presentation like this, “A woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read …” On that same evening, she goes to a party to celebrate attaining her degree. She and a friend go to the beach; the friend has something she wants to discuss. They are both robbed, assaulted and raped. Within minutes of getting help, Michelle realises she’ll never be herself again. She’s now “the girl who was raped.”
This book is Michelle’s fight to be herself again. Of the taint she feels, despite the support and resources at her disposal as the loved child of a successful middle-class family. Of the fall-out to friendships, job, identity.
It’s Michelle’s brave way of standing up for the women in South Africa who are raped every day.
