Short description
Jonny Steinberg recently won the Alan Paton Award for the second time with The Number. He is the first person to win the award twice, and the judges have high praise for the book.
John Maytham of Cape Talk Radio found the book "textured and layered and one where the author's voice constantly questions the validity of the information he is gathering....Jonny is a ... very authentic and careful researcher and that makes it special." Michele Magwood of the Sunday Times said, "Jonny has a nose for the subtle stories that are just below the surface."
