Join us for the launch of an anthology crafted with finesse, flair and serious smarts. Lorraine Sithole of the famous Bookwormers Book Club will be in conversation with best-selling writer Niq Mhlongo, who edited the collection, and 2019 Ruth First Fellow, Bongani Kona, who edited the contributors’ stories. They’ll share the joys and excitements of the making of Joburg Noir. The highs, the lows, the dream, the selection, the why, the who, the wherefore. The best opening lines, the best closing lines, the surprises, the eye-openers, how the whole can enhance the parts, what it takes to edit a collection, and what it takes to edit the texts.
