I'm a novelist. I've written two books of fiction set in Botswana, and
am at work on a third. My notes (taken in Africa, 1978 - 1983) contained
a few terms in Afrikaans slang for a male homosexual. These were all
hostile expressions, or contemptuous, along the lines of 'fag' in
English. I've lost my notes containing this information. I would
appreciate any help anyone could offer. I am aware it's an odd request.
For reassurance: My name is Norman Rush, my publisher is Alfred A.
Knopf, titles of my two earlier works set in Botswana are "Whites" and
"Mating."
I would be delighted if you could connect me with someone who would be
willing also to answer a few additional language questions as they
arise.
It may be relevant that the period in which this book is set is 1992.
Any help will be registered in my acknowledgments!
Thanks,
Norman Rush
