Touch: Stories of Contact by South African WritersVerdict: carrot

KARINA Magdalena Szczurek commissioned all but two of the stories specifically for this collection, a fundraiser for the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC).

She does not explain on what basis the authors were selected, saying in the preface only that they are written by 22 of “South Africa’s most renowned and most exciting emerging voices”. The writers “give nuances to the theme of touch, with all its complex emotional and physical connotations”.
