Global Warming and Other Bollocks

Stanley Feldman

Global Warming and Other Bollocks

The end of the world is not nigh. The idea that we are one step from calamity is as old as history itself. Every step on the road of progress has always been countered by those who think that we should keep to a primitive lifestyle that they claim is compatible with nature. But despite the fact that they've been proved wrong, the pessimists are undeterred by their abysmal record. They continue to echo a deep-seated fear that unless we repent and change the way we live, we will be...

Harvey Wallbangers and Tam O'Shanters

Did you know that Maria Ann Smith was genuinely a grandmother who died not knowing that she had given the world one of the best varieties of apple? Or that the word tawdry, meaning tacky or tasteless, has its origins in the fate of a seventh-century Saxon princess, Etheldreda, who was canonised and became St Audrey? Or that when we say Fanny Adams, meaning nothing, this expression is derived from the tragic fate of a real little girl who was murdered in a most horrible fashion? An eponym is a...

Alphabet of Manliness (revised and updated)

Sometimes in life you say certain words in conjunction with other words that you normally wouldn't, such as the word «holy» and the word «shit.» Those times are rare and celebrated. Well, get your face hole ready, because this is one of those times: introducing The Alphabet of Manliness: Special Edition! If it's a crime to be awesome, then I deserve three life sentences and the death penalty. This literary kick to the dick may very well be the greatest compilation of all things manly...

We Did That? (Unabridged)

How did we come up with that? Everyone knows about mousetraps, but did you know they were originally inspired by burglar alarms? What was so important to Samuel Hopkins that he became the first person to have a US patent? Many curious creations have been born over the centuries, and author and historian Sophie Stirling dives into the curious minds behind these unique (and sometimes wild) ideas throughout history. How about strange beauty and fashion fads-where did they come from? The phrase...

Hans steek die Rubicon oor

Rudie van Rensburg

Hans steek die Rubicon oor

Hans loop op 90 nié met ’n loopring nie. Sy orige kinders maneuvreer hom vanuit hul tuistes oorsee in Huis Madeliefie in, maar Hans skop nog kliphard, en gou lei hy ’n ouetehuisopstand teen die onhoudbaar drakoniese matrone. Dis daggakoekies, ontkleedansers en vet sports net waar jy kyk in hierdie hoogs komiese roman oor oudword op eie terme.

Kortetjies en 'n lange

Onder die storievertellers is PG du Plessis ’n gerekende en bekende. Nie net op die TV of van die verhoog af nie, maar ook in koerantrubrieke en in die bundels wat reeds in boekvorm verskyn het. Baie van die stories is oorgewerk vir die TV en het in ‘n ander medium gestalte gekry (soos die onsterflike reeks Koöperasie-stories). Het olifante elmboë en Neklis, twee van sy vroegste kort-kortverhaalbundels, gaan nou onder ’n nuwe titel gesamentlik (en met nuwe verhale bygeskryf) ’n heruitgawe...

Boerumoer

Sarel Pieterse

Boerumoer

Die verteller in hierdie verhale, Oom Gysbert, se stories speel af op plase en dorpe in die Karoo. Die skrywer skep spanning met ingehoue humor en die verhale eindig dikwels op verassende wyse. Hy vertel van die eenvoudige Boggie wat in die hospitaal begin boer het sodat hy vroegtydig weet wanneer die volgende begrafnis gaan plaasvind. Dan is daar ook die suinige tant Geesie wat haar suiker in die vallei van ‘n duisend heuwels van haar boesem bewaar. En die dag van die mampoernagmaal.

Keep Your Pantheon (and School)

David Mamet

Keep Your Pantheon (and School)

Best known for his precision-blade language and hot-button subject matter, David Mamet shows off a lighter side with his equally dexterous screwball comedy Keep Your Pantheon. Featuring an over-the-hill acting guru who lusts after both his toga-clad protégé Philius and a spot in the Sicilian Cork Festival, Mamet’s play returns to the roots of comedy, paying homage to the Roman playwright Plautus, whose works also inspired Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors...

The Detective in the Dooryard

Timothy A. Cotton

The Detective in the Dooryard

Tim Cotton has been a police officer for more than thirty-years. The writer in him has always been drawn to the stories of the people he has met along the way. Dealing with the standard issue ne’er-do-wells as a patrol officer, homicide detective, polygraph examiner, and later as the lieutenant in charge of the criminal investigation division certainly provides an interesting backdrop—but more often he writes about the regular folks he encounters, people who need his help, or...
