Introducing, THE AFRIKANER by Arianna Dagnino

Author: Christina - Published 2021-01-23 16:46 - (749 Reads)

Guernica Editions, Toronto, 2019

Set in the turmoil of newly-post apartheid South Africa, Arianna Dagnino’s novel, The Afrikaner, (Guernica Editions) is the story of Zoe Du Plessis (33), a woman scientist of Afrikaner descent. A personal tragedy leads Zoe to face her family’s dark secret while she is struggling with the self-reproach for her country’s shameful past. A scientific expedition into the hot plains of the Kalahari Desert sets Zoe on a path of atonement and self-discovery that will allow her to reclaim her identity and meet some memorable characters along the way – among them, a troubled writer, a Bushman shaman and a Border War veteran.

The book is inspired by the five years (1996-2000) the author spent in South Africa working as an international reporter for the Italian press and is currently adapted to screen by the author in collaboration with Dr. Ernst Mathijs, Head of the Centre for Cinema and Film Studies at the University of British Columbia.
