Tracing the (Post)Apartheid Novel beyond 2000

<p>This anthology comprises of interviews with contemporary South African authors offering vignettes of their lives and summaries of their works.</p><p>In curating this book Danyela Demir and Olivier Moreillon step beyond pure literary theory and analysis. They welcome the authors to speak and assess the literary panorama in which they live and co-create. However Demir and Moreillon also trace concepts and terms that describe the current South African literature such as post-transitional literature and literature beyond 2000. By adopting a world-literary approach to (post)apartheid literature this book contributes to debates on contemporary South African writing. In addition <em><b>Tracing the (Post)Apartheid Novel Beyond 2000 </b></em>seeks to raise awareness of the imbalance in both critical and public attention between literary ‘big names’ such as André P. Brink J.M. Coetzee Nadine Gordimer and Zakes Mda who are popular worldwide and the younger and newer generation of South African writers who go largely unnoticed.</p><p>Print edition not for sale in Sub Saharan Africa.</p>
