Kärlek x 21 : afrikanska noveller

Afrikanska kärleksberättelser – finns de? Ama Ata Aidoo skriver i sitt förord om hur afrikanska författare förväntas skriva om militärregimer, förlegade traditioner, hungersnöd. Så har föreställningen vunnit mark att det inte skrivs om kärlek i Afrika, både i västvärlden och bland de egna intellektuella. Kärlek x 21 visar tydligt att den afrikanska kärleksnovellen lever i vår samtid. Här skriver flera av kontinentens främsta kvinnliga författare om allt mellan födslosmärtor och begravningar; tonårens våndor och ålderdomens krämpor; samkönade relationer och förhållanden som drabbas av rasfördomar. Inte minst slår samlingen hål på myten om den afrikanska kvinnan som ett fattigt offer. Genom hela antologin bultar det mänskliga hjärtat: belägrat och blödande, oförskräckt och ibland triumferande. Närma dig novellerna en i sänder, då kan du höra kvinnornas inre röster var och en för sig.

The first free elections in South Africa's history were held in 1994. Within a year legislation was drafted to create a Truth and Reconcilliation Commission to establish a picture of the gross human rights violations committed between 1960 and 1993. It was to seek the truth and make it known to the public and to prevent these brutal events ever happening again. From 1996 and over the following two years South Africans were exposed almost daily to revelations about their traumatic past. Antije Krog's full account of the Commission's work using the testimonies of the oppressed and oppressors alike is a harrowing and haunting book in which the voices of ordinary people shape the course of history.WINNER OF SOUTH AFRICA'S SUNDAY TIMES ALAN PATON AWARD

This new collection, Pillage, is published eight years since Synapse (Mede-wete), which received the Hertzog Prize for Poetry in 2017. In Pillage Krog develops her familiar themes of family, body and land but this time in the harsh light of pillaging, whether being done by nature, humans, or old age. The poems reveal a painful fragility, an exasperation and even at times a blissful celebration trying to determine different ways of dealing with erosions, here and now. Then there is finding comfort, being nourished by remarkable moments of beauty: the delight of an egret in a vlei, watching over a young child who is discovering the world around him, and remembering the raptures of love. Pillage is translated by award winning poet and translator, Karen Press.

Antjie Krog’s iconic status as one of South Africa's most popular and critically-acclaimed poets began when she was eighteen, with her first collection, Dogter van Jefta (1970). Almost four decadeslater, this very different collection will confirm her reputation with poems that blur and ravage the boundaries between the lyrical and confessional, the private and public. Body Bereft is a fearless and ecstatic exploration of consciousness on the edge of decay and dissolution. The taboos within the tidal moods of the menopause are described with anger and verbal intensity in a voice that is uniquely Krog's. Close relationships are searingly explored, occasionally seeking conflict, often searching for resolution. In the final meditative section, the personal intensity is tempered, fantastically almost, by contemplations of Table Mountain as a looming, symbolic and androgynous godhead, echoing Adamastor, an abiding presence that endures as it suffers witness - an ostensibly inscrutable, ironically nurturing mirror to selfand personal despair. These dramatic, even reckless poems, translated from the simultaneously published Afrikaans Collection, Veweerskrif, bring an altogether new and unique energy to South African English-language poetry.

Vanaf die verskyning van Dogter van Jefta, op agtien jaar, was Antjie Krog op pad om een van die hoogs aangeskrewe en mees gelese Afrikananse digters te word. Byna veertig jaar later kom sy met ? bundel wat ouer-word karteer, met verse wat die grense tussen liriek en bieg, die persoonlike en openbare, uitwis. Verweerskrif is ? bundel wat aftakeling en verwering vreesloos en ekstaties in die oog staar. In haar unieke stem beskryf Krog die taboes in die verskuiwende gemoedstoestande van die menopouse woedend en intens. Intieme verhoudings ondersoek sy skreiend eerlik; soms konfronterend, maar dikwels op soek na vesoening. In die laaste, meer bepeinsende gedeelte word die intens persoonlike getemper. Die fokus verskuif na Tafelberg - ? durende alomteenwoordigheid wat oor vier jaargetye waargeneem word; die onnaspeurlike getuie van verandering, maar ironies ook ? spieël van die self en persoonlike wanhoop.

One of South Africa’s greatest living poets selects from her most recent poems and also from the poems and the themes that best represent her from across her long career.Part One of Skinned contains poems about writing, family and love poems. The poems in second part were chosen from a volume featuring a long epic poem based on the life of Lady Anne Barnard from Scotland, who accompanied her husband to Cape Town and lived in the castle there from 1797 until 1802. This volume was written during the height of apartheid and the poet chose Lady Anne as representative of the colonial vision. Part Three contains extracts from several speakers who lived in the land before the likes of lady Anne arrived. Krog includes here interviews with inhabitants of the stone desert, three re-workings of Bushmen or Xam narratives, as well as a translation of an oral Xhosa praise poem. Part Four represents the political turmoil of South Africa and the divisions within Africa. The poems come from volumes that explored how blacks and whites identifying with the oppressed were removed from official history. The present volume as a whole explores the necessity of "a change of tongue" in order to be.

Lady Anne: A Chronicle in Verse by Antjie Krog is the first English translation of an award winning book published in Afrikaans in 1989. It engages critically and creatively with a key moment of colonial history—the time Lady Anne Barnard spent at the Cape of Good Hope, from 1797 to 1802. Usually mentioned merely as a witty hostess of fabulous parties, Anne Lindsay Barnard, the daughter of a Scottish Earl and the wife of a colonial administrator, was an independent thinker and a painter and writer of genius. She left diaries, correspondence and watercolors documenting her experiences in this exotic land, the contact zone of colonizers and indigenous peoples. Antjie Krog acts as bard and chronicles an epic about this remarkable heroine’s life in South Africa, and intertwines it with life two hundred years later in the same country but now in the throes of anti-apartheid anger and vicious states of emergency. Krog’s powerful and eloquent bringing together of the past and the present, and the historical and the poetic embodies an experience that is as pertinent and compelling today in a democratic but still turbulent South Africa, as it is in the USA and other places where the intersections of race, identity, power, and language lie at the center of civic life.

In 1992, a gang leader was shot dead by an ANC member in Kroonstad. The murder weapon was then hidden on Antjie Krog’s stoep. In Begging to Be Black, Krog begins by exploring her position in this controversial case. From there the book ranges widely in scope, both in time - reaching back to the days of Basotho king Moshoeshoe - and in space - as we follow Krog’s experiences as a research fellow in Berlin, far from the Africa that produced her.Begging to Be Black is a book of journeys - moral, historical, philosophical and geographical. These form strands that Krog interweaves and sets in conversation with each other, as she explores questions of change and becoming, coherency and connectedness, before drawing them closer together as the book approaches its powerful end.Experimental and courageous, Begging to Be Black is a welcome addition to Krog’s own oeuvre and to South African literary non-fiction.

Identity, belonging and voyages of personal discovery are but some of the themes inventively explored in Antjie Krog’s first full-length work to appear in English since the publication of Country of My Skull. In times of fundamental change, people tend to find a space, lose it and then find another space as life and the world transform around them. What does this metamorphosis entail and in what ways are we affected by it? How do we live through it and what may we become on our journey towards each other, particularly when the space and places from which we depart are – at least on the surface – vastly different? Ranging freely and often wittily across many terrains, this brave book by one of South Africa’s foremost writers and poets provides a unique and compelling discourse on living creatively in South Africa.

Digter Antjie Krog keer terug na die landskap van haar kindertyd. Die Vrystaatse vlaktes bekoor haar – dit is haar tuiste; ook die tuiste van haar ma, die skrywer Dot Serfontein. Dot is by die negentig. Sy is verswak en moet voltyds versorg word, maar haar intellek en humorsin is vlymskerp en haar skrywerskap vergelykbaar met die van haar dogter. In Die binnerym van bloed breek Antjie Krog die grense tussen genres af en skryf sy oor hierdie verhouding wat haar bly fassineer en kasty. Sy gebruik briewe, dagboekinskrywings en versorgingsverslae om verrykende benaderings tot kreatiwiteit, ideologie en die waarheid van oud word bloot te lê. Krog spoel die onoorkombare verskille tussen geslagte oop, maar wys ook die liefde en wedersydse bewondering tussen twee hoogs bekwame skrywers. Pragtig en indringend geskryf, delf Die binnerym van bloed in kulturele erfgoed, die land se Anglo-Boereoorlogverlede, kwessies van grondbesit en ras, ook romantiese verhoudings oor rasgrense heen. Hierdie verhaal oor die verhouding tussen ’n ma en ’n dogter is Krog se mees persoonlike, ook haar mees universele.

El estilo de la obra de la autora, la estructura de su relato, son poco convencionales. Quiero ser negra articula en sus capítulos tres motivos diferentes cuya relación crece y se intensifica a medida que avanzamos en su lectura. El primero aborda la violencia y la represión policial, también la violencia ciudadana, en el país sudafricano. En el segundo, Krog narra la historia del rey Moshoeshoe I, y con él la historia de Lesoto, la condición de sus costumbres, la naturaleza de sus valores, tan diferentes de los occidentales. En tercer lugar, la propia vida de la autora en Berlín, su conciencia de la vida europea, de la cultura occidental, de un mundo completamente distinto, y la necesidad de integrarse en la sociedad a la que pertenece: "quiero ser negra" es un deseo que no llega a satisfacer, pero que está en el horizonte de su existencia.

Tillfälligt slut
Dié jongste bundel van Antjie Krog verskyn agt jaar ná Mede-wete. Krog ontwikkel voormalige temas soos die landskap van die vrou, die huwelik, die aftakeling van die lyf, die vreugde van klein gesinsoomblikke, maar terselfdertyd vernuwe sy, opnuut. Daar is ’n onrusbarende kwesbaarheid, ’n brandende woede en ’n direktheid, en tegelyk ’n hartverskeurende deernis met die ouerwordende self. In die openingsgedig skryf sy: “Dit kom nie meer op my af nie / die geluid/ die geluid van ’n gedig kom nie meer op my af nie.” En dan, teenstrydig hiermee, sleur Krog die leser in die daaropvolgende verse mee in ’n jubelsang en ook ’n klaaglied van die land wat geplunder word, maar ook die self wat plunder. Krog probeer oplaas sin maak van die land, van die self, van die verlede. Soos Alfred Schaffer sê, daar is gewoonweg niemand in Afrikaans wat só skryf nie. Sy wys wat digkuns moet en kan wees. En hoe dit in Afrikaans kan klink en resoneer.

Tillfälligt slut
Poet Antjie Krog returns to the landscape of her childhood. The Free State plains enchant her – it is her home, and the home of her mother, the writer Dot Serfontein. In her nineties, Dot is frail and needs full-time care, but her intellect and sense of humour are razor-sharp, and her writing is comparable to that of her daughter. In Blood’s Inner Rhyme, Antjie Krog breaks the boundaries between genres and writes about this relationship that continues to fascinate and torment her. Using letters, diary entries and care-home records, the book explores creative influence, ideological disagreements and the realities of ageing. Krog exposes the insurmountable differences between generations but also shows the love and mutual admiration between two highly skilled writers. Beautifully and poignantly written, Blood’s Inner Rhyme delves into cultural heritage, the country's Anglo-Boer War history, issues of land ownership and race, as well as romantic relationships across racial boundaries. The story of the relationship between mother and daughter, this is Krog’s most personal book, as well as the most universal.
