description: Herman Charles Bosman, saam met JM Coetzee seker die beste skrywer wat ooit uit SA gekom het, sou die afgelope naweek 100 jaar oud gewees het. Om dit te vier, hier is een van sy minder bekende stories. Minder bekend, maar so 'n briljante stuk vertelkins.... ------------------------------------------------- The Recogning Blues I was ambling down Eloff Street, barefooted and in my shirt-sleeyes, and with the recognising blues. I had been smoking dagga, good dagga, the real rooibaard, with heads about a foot long, and not just the stuff that most dealers supply you with, and that is not much better than grass. When you smoke good dagga you get blue in quite a number of ways. The most common way is the frightened blues, when you imagine that your heart is palpitating, and that you can't breathe, and that you are going to die. Another form that the effect of dagga takes is that you get the suspicious blues, and then you imagine that all the people around you, your best friends and your parents included, are conspiring against you, so that when your mother asks you, 'How are you?' every word she says sounds very sinister, as though she knows that you have been smoking dagga, and that you are blue, and you feel that she is like a witch. The most innocent remark any person makes when you have got the suspicious blues seems to be impregnated with a whole world of underhand meaning and dreadful insinuation. And perhaps you are right to feel this way about it. Is not the most harmless conversation between several human beings charged with the most diabolical kind of subterranean cunning, each person fortifying himself behind barbed-wire defences? Look at that painting of Daumier's, called Conversation Piece, and you will see that the two men and the woman concerned in this little friendly chat are all three of them taking part in a cloven-hoofed rite. You can see each one has got the suspicious blues. There is also the once-over blues and a considerable variety of other kinds …

Soos gewoonlik weet mens dat Bosman, beter as enigiemand in die hele heelal, weet hoe om die spyker op die kop te slaan. Gloudina

Aangesien kopiereg verval 50 jaar na die dood van die outeur, is daar nie meer kopiereg op Bosman se werk nie.
