There’s no doubt about it. The life of Jesus is intensely dramatic. I doubt if there has been a more dramatic life in the history of man, whether in the real lives of Alexander and Julius Caesar or in the fictitious ones of Hamlet and King Lear. In the four gospels it has been told with dramatic intensity both in the narrative style of the first three and in the discursive style of the fourth. Shakespeare himself drew deep inspiration from these four sources, as appears in all his plays and...

Die subtitel “artefakte vir die stadige gebruike van doodgaan” dui reeds op die belangrikste temas in Breytenbach se nuwe bundel: afskeid, verganklikheid, die dood. Maar tog is daar ook, soos altyd, gedigte wat ’n viering is van die lewe en van die liefde. Katalekte vorm ’n drieluik met sy vorige twee bundels, Die windvanger en Die beginsel van stof. Soos voorheen, gedigte wat aards is én liries, sintuiglik én abstrak, eenvoudig én kompleks, onthutsend én teer. En steeds, die assosiasie van...
