Verdict: carrots for Ben Trovato
I WAS the lucky writer given your latest book to review. I say lucky because that means I get to keep it. Hey, it could even save me buying a Christmas present for my husband. Thanks.
I also got the R20 you forwarded. I believe you sent it to encourage the Book Editor to review the book, because she didn’t feature your last one. Sies on her.
I don’t need encouragement as I’m one of your fans. There are several of us here in Pietermaritzburg. Do you know where that is? Go down to the beach and walk towards Simonstown and keep walking like those people on that TV programme Shoreline did. When you get to Durban, turn left on to the N3. Make sure you stick to the highway as there are crocodiles in the Duzi, poisonous snakes in the thorn veld and small towns full of women who make Kwaai Lappies look like Minnie Mouse. Be sure to put on your fog headlamp when you get to Camperdown. You’ll find us in the mist somewhere past Ashburton.
Ben Trovato is back, unabashedly offering the best of what’s left of his six-year sojourn on the Cape Times where it all began before jumping ship this year for bigger pay cheques at the Sunday Times.
Still On The Run is a companion volume to last year’s On The Run.
