Hierdie jongste versameling van Nataniël bevat 29 stories – 5 in Engels, 24 in Afrikaans. Verskeie van die stukke is verwerk uit Nataniël-produksies oor ’n periode van drie BUTTERFLY, LOVESICK TIM, MOSCOW, SIX IN A BOAT, DIE SMITSTRAAT SUITE, ROME ’62 en PASSI PASSIO.
Nataniël was born in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape. He went to school at Riebeeck-Kasteel Primary School and De Kuilen High School in Kuilsriver, near Cape Town. He went on to study music at the University of Stellenbosch.
He first became popular as a cabaret and stage artist, but since the 1990’s has also built a reputation as a writer, columnist and celebrity chef. His publications include Dancing with John (1992), Rubber (1996), Tuesday (2001), Food from the White House (2002), Kaalkop (2004) and When I Was (2008). His Kaalkop column has also appeared in the magazine Sarie for a number of years now.
Die fantastiese, die wonderlike, die vreemde… Alles stories wat ons mensheid en vreemdheid en soeke om deel te wees (of nie) ondersoek. Every story is a gem to be read again and again. I can just see Nataniel on stage with his majestic jackets delivering the punch-lines! 👌🏻 There is a some grammatical errors, but it does not deflect from the storyline (why I give a 4)
