STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Wildekus – Morné Malan
Die skrywer Morné Malan het verlede jaar my gunstelingboek van 2023 op die rak gehad.
‘Minder as Water’ was ‘n meesleurende storie oor ‘n gemeenskappie in die dorre Boesmanland waar ‘n beplande dam nie uitkoms voorspel nie, maar verwoesting. Ná die plesier wat ek uit ‘Minder as water’ – die skrywer se tweede roman - geput het, wou ek eenvoudig méér van Morné se werk lees. Sy debuutroman, ‘Wildekus’ – wat in 2021 verskyn het – was dus ‘n baie welkome toevoeging tot my boekrak. ‘Wildekus’ vertel die storie van Adam Swart en sy dogter Lea. Adam is ‘n man vir syfers. Een en een moet twee maak, kant en klaar. Hy het nie geduld met konsepte wat nie vir hom sin maak nie.
