| biography:
| Short-story writer, essayist, and novelist, born in Kuils River, near Cape Town, SW South Africa. His literary reputation has been largely posthumous. He taught in a remote country district near Groot Marico, in the Transvaal. This provided the setting for his short stories about rural Afrikaners - affectionate, sardonic, wry, and moving tales. He also wrote a memorable prison memoir, Cold Stone Jug (1949), and two novels. |
