Professor Luetge Coullie lectures in English at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
The Closest of Strangers immerses the reader in the dramatic history of 20th century South Africa. The short, carefully chosen excerpts - by black women, new migrants, activists, English and Afrikaner settlers - make up a breathtaking array of gripping, surprising, at times unbelievable stories that attest to the reckless tenacity of the human will. Coullie's text is certain to become a classic. Kay Schaffer, University of Adelaide As always, I am impressed with Judith Coullie's work. The Closest of Strangers is an immensely valuable and interesting collection which should appeal to a wide audience of readers. Zoe Wicombe, author of You can't get lost in Cape Town and David's Story
