Book Launch: First Drafts: South African History in the Making by Allister Sparks

November 17th, 2009 by Claire

First Drafts: South African History in the MakingJonathan Ball publishers and Boekehuis take pleasure in inviting you to the launch of Allister Spark’s Rough Drafts.

No journalist has covered South Africa with the same insight and depth as Sparks. For many years his reporting and opinion pieces have been eagerly sort out by decision makers, analysts and the public at large.

First Drafts – a scintillating collection of Sparks’ writing – takes the reader on a journey through the tumultuous years of the past decade. In his inimitable style, Sparks writes on subjects that cut across the landscape both local and international. He tackles the failed Mbeki presidency, tracking the never-ending Zimbabwe crisis and the HIV-Aids debacle.

Meet the author, who will be in conversation with fellow journalist Jeremy Gordin (Zuma: a Biography), at Boekehuis:
