On a considered whim writer Karin Cronje packs up her life and flies across the world to teach English in a small Korean village. The result is a poignant, heart-achingly funny, scandalous, and deeply moving account of incomprehension, awe, dislocation, belonging, the sticky business of identity and the loss of it, sanity, and the loss of that. Characters like Dae-ho, her guru man, who reminds her to breathe; dazzling Mae and her bar, Goldfinger; Leona with her rattle snake tongue, and all the others she cant understand are now the people in her life. Back home is her son who has fallen in with a suspect character and her friends who now seem like dung beetles each rolling their own ball of muck. They, together with the tip of the African continent, are about to disappear into the sea. She has only herself. And that sure as hell feels inadequate. With her inimitable voice Karin Cronje shocks and delights as she digs deeply into the full catastrophe of being human.

There is little doubt that students and researchers pursuing courses such as Conflict Resolution, Good Governance and International Relations would find this compilation more than beneficial since it covers not only an assortment of themes but it also includes ingenious cartoons by the famous Zapiro and memorable photographs by George Hallet. In addition, the compiler also inserted a select number of poems that dealt with the issues and themes related to the TRC process.

Daar skort iets met Cronje se kollega en vriend Richard Roux, hy tree geruime tyd al geheimsinnig op. Op aandrang van hul bevelvoerder, moet hulle die gesiene Regter Taljaard se verjaardagviering bywoon. Die Regter word vermoor en Cronje ontdek dat hy die heeltyd ’n buitestaander in ’n kat en muis speletjie is. Omdat Roux die hoofverdagte is, moet Cronje noodgedwonge terugstaan, terwyl Jan Visagie, ’n onbeholpe speurder, die ondersoek in ’n verkeerde rigting dwing. Nuwe bewyse kom aan die lig, en Cronje besluit om sake in eie hande te neem. Hierdie besluit verander die koers van sy loopbaan en sy vriendskap met Roux. Met soveel op die spel moet die enigmatiese speurder Cronje nie net fyntrap nie, maar ook sy persoonlike gevoelens eenkant skuif, anders kan die skuldige wegkom met moord...
