Wat is jou gunsteling-reël uit ’n boek

“This is where the story starts, in this threadbare room. The walls are exploding. The windows have turned into telescopes.” Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

“I stay downstairs while the family breathes above me and I write it down. I lay them out in nice sentences, all my clean white bones.” Anne Enright, The Gathering

“But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.” Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Ek kan ook Stefaans se SMS’e in Die Benederyk van Ingrid Winterbach oor en oor lees:

 “Verbruining van die hande en gesig.

“Fame is an elastic concept, especially in a place like this, where we all know the smells of each other’s armpits.” Petina Gappah, An Elegy for Easterly

“The village is the salmon who comes up the river to spawn, the seal who follows the salmon and bites off his head, the bluejay whose name is like the sound he makes – Kwiss-Kwiss.” Margaret Craven, I Heard the Owl Call my Name
