Die Sunday Times in SA het n baie lekker storie gehad oor Ernest
Hemingway se ongepubliseerde boek wat sy seun nou laat verskyn - op 1
Julie.
Die boek se naam is True at First Light.
Dit het die wonderlike sin in:
"In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you
have no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect weed-fringed
lake you see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across
that plain in the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But
now it is there absolutely true, beautifull and believable."
Dan word sy seun Patrick - wat self n professionele grootwildjagter in
Kenia was - ook aangehaal waar hy vertel van Philip Percival, n Britse
grootwildjagter wat Hemingway se gids in Afrika was.
"He was a wonderfull old English gentleman, whom my father very much
liked and respected. He had a terribly dry sense of humour. When
American or British reporters would show up and ask the usual
questions, he would throw them off with witty, one-word answers.
"They would ask: 'What's the most difficult thing to kill in Africa?'
and he would say, 'Time'. When he was asked to name the most dangerous
creature in Africa, he said: 'Woman.' "

Dis mooi Ferdi. Daar is regtig iets te sê vir die Afrika-mistiek. My man
(n Amerikaner) het hopeloos verlief geraak op Afrika (sy plek van keuse is
die Kruger-wildtuin, nou nie myne nie, maar hy sê dis waar sy siel rus ?!)
Dis die kleur van die son, dis die bruin en groen en blou wat soveel
skerper is as enige ander plek . Engeland het wel die groen, en soms op n
mooi dag die blou, maar die bruin aarde is net anders in Afrika.
