Ingrid Winterbach Knihy

    Ingrid Winterbach je juhoafrická autorka, ktorá tvorí primárne v afrikánčine. Jej diela sú známe svojou štylistickou náročnosťou a skúmaním komplexných medziľudských vzťahov a spoločenských otázok. Winterbachová sa vyznačuje nekompromisným pohľadom na ľudskú psychiku a spoločenské normy, často sa ponára do tém identity, pamäti a hľadania zmyslu v postkoloniálnej krajine. Jej prozaický štýl je bohatý a vrstevnatý, vyžaduje pozorne čítanie, ktoré ocení jemné nuansy a symboliku.

      Painter Nick Steyn moves to the City Bowl in Cape Town after separating from his partner, Isabel. A young boarder moves in with Nick and they soon become friends. But one night she does not come home, and his attempts to trace her come to nothing. A few weeks later the prosperous artist Buks Verhoef makes an offer on Nick's house. Is there a connection between these evnts, and if so, could Nick's former friend, Victor Shoeman, the author of the outrageous novel The Shallows, have a hand in them?. A parallell narrative concerns a nameless Stellenbosch woman who is writing a monograph on the famous Olivier brothers. One day she witnesses the murder of Buks Verhoef in a coffee shop; soon thereafter a sinister man starts stalking her. Could this also be Victor Shoeman?"
