Inventory Of Possible Narrations

This anthology of short stories starts at that point. It focuses on Jonkers politicized and ubiquitous character ; and uses it as a vehicle for investigating history ; biography and mythology. Four South African authors Ingrid Winterbach ; Michiel Heyns ; Mark Behr ; Ilse Carla Groenewald and Basha Faber from the Netherlands ; were commissioned to write a short fiction that starts from the projected figure of the poet. Next to her biography the writers were each given a series of images of interiors of places were Jonker used to live ; write or where she and her colleagues used to meet during the fifties and sixties. These series of photographs were used by the individual writers to embed the narration.
