Long description
Jaco Kirsten's quirky, entertaining essays cover a wide variety of topics and are always thought provoking. He is unashamedly opinionated, and doesn't shy away from tackling controversial topics; his hard-hitting views are invariably balanced by a healthy dose of humour. Whether he's giving his honest opinion regarding noisy neighbourhood dogs, the hazards of attending high school reunions, the dodgy wheelings and dealings of local politicians or the snobbery that pervades local wine culture . . . Jaco's collection of essays is an honest attempt at making sense of the chaotic, violent, beautiful, irresistable and unique country that is South Africa.
