Tobie, ek kon net een van jou poste sien. Katryn het vir my die ander
gestuur. Oor die webwerf, dankie vir die verduideliking, dit klink na 'n
interessante projek. Was jy self weer Angola toe na die oorlog daar?
In Huisgenoot is daar 'n artikel van 'n oudonderwyser wat beweer dit is die
ouers se skuld as hul kinders stout en onbeheerbaar is.
En die medisyne is nie Retalin nie, maar geld.
Ek stem natuurlik nie saam nie - want die kind moet eerstens leer dat hy/sy
nie iets kan verdien sonder om take te verrig nie.
Ek sê vanoggend beleefd vir 'n man dat hy op sy werk moet begin konsentreer.
Tog my ontnugtering, uiter hy: "You are just saying that because I'm black"
Toe kom ek op 'n stuk wysheid van Steve Biko af:
Being black is not a matter of pigmentation-being black is a reflection of a
mental attitude.
Stephen Biko (1946-1977), South African political activist, 1971.

Die boek het in 1992 verskyn. Nie te lank daarna nie het 'n soort
parodie/satire daarop verskyn, geskryf vanuit die man se oogpunt. Ek het die
boek gelees en interessant, hoewel soms ietwat smaakloos en dikwels baie
eksplisiet gevind. Maar nou ek om die dood nie die titel of die skrywer
onthou nie. Ek dink die titel het 'n man se naam in gehad, en die skrywer
het 'n skuilnaam gebruik. As iemand weet waarvan ek praat - kan jy dalk
asseblief die titel en skrywer noem? Die hoofkarakter se naam was Mot, en ek
het 'n gedagte die titel het ook dalk "Mot" in gehad.
Dis net een van daardie goed wat jy probeer onthou maar toetentaal net nie
kan oproep nie.
Dankie!
