This book is a collection of hilarious opinion pieces. I guess it could be referred to as a book of essays and its becoming my favourite type of book to read because of the way it highlights different newsworthy events that went on at a particular time and how they affected the writer's perspective.
This guy makes fun of people; from the uneducated in Limpopo to Lobola to people who drive Peugeots. He occasionally makes fun of himself, his drinking and judgemental attitude towards other people. But he's not apologetic, which seems to be a sought-after quality in opinion piece writing and co-incidentally the quality most likely to get its writers fired ... think David Bullard and Kuli Roberts (when is her book coming out, by the way?).
He is hilarious. I don't always agree with his opinions but he's a really funny guy and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I bought it from Exclusive Books in Nelspruit for R124.00. It is Published by Thomas Stein Publising.
