FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The thirty-nine stories in Asleep Awake Asleep can be read as a hand-drawn narrative map, charting the course of a countrys turbulent history. Together they tell a coming of age and a coming to consciousness story, as Rip - child, adult, journalist, partner, mother - revisits milestones marked and signposts ignored or unseen. Set in the suburbs and newsrooms of South African towns and cities and their wilder surrounds, there are vignettes of relationships; tales of political assassinations, murder and betrayal, and questions asked about complicity and reparation. Author Biography Jo-Ann Bekker is a South African writer whose stories have appeared in Volume 1 Brooklyn, New Contrast, Itch, The Drum, Type/Cast and Problem House Press. She received her MA in Creative Writing from Rhodes University, Grahamstown, in 2016. She lives in Knysna. Review In a dazzling coil of interlinked tales Bekker mines the loaded seam between what we witness of the historical world amassing around us and what we internalise of that history into our remarkably unremarkable lives. - Sarah Blackman, author of HexAn abundance of vivid, intelligent, exciting pieces in which a woman tells herself the story of a life. - Claire Robertson, author of Under GlassJo-Ann Bekkers collection of stories is an utter delight.
