What’s it like when people at school start saying things about your brother? What do they mean when they say he’s a bit ‘funny’? <br />
<br />
But Missy knows better. She knows her brother’s funny – she laughs at him all the time – and she doesn’t care if other people say he’s a bit ‘funny’.<br />
<br />
And then something happens that isn’t funny at all …<br />
<br />
This teen novel deals unselfconsciously with a young girl’s experience of having a brother she adores who happens to be gay.<br />
<br />
As well as the joys of having such a brother, she is made to experience cruel homophobia.<br />
<br />
The theme of gayness has rarely been the subject of teen fiction in South Africa. Significant predecessors have been the work of Barry Hough in Afrikaans, and Robin Malan himself in The Sound of New Wings and in several of the novels in the Siyagruva Series, of which he was the Series Editor.<br />
<br />

two novellas<br />

by Peter Krummeck<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“</span>Peter Krummeck has established a reputation for creating humane yet humorous characters. His acclaimed nativity play <em>Lodestar</em> featured ‘Three not-so Wise Men’. In <em>The Passion</em> he controversially turned Judas from the archetypal villain into a youthfully misguided Zealot one could understand. And like!</div>
<br />
As did <em>iVirgin Boy</em>, his exposé of the HIV/Aids pandemic, these novellas are likely to ruffle a few feathers because they explore the wider spectrum of our God-given sexuality. Having mentored Peter on occasion over thirty years, I suggest that his gainsayers respect the integrity that undergirds his writing. It is especially evident in his one-man play <em>Bonhoeffer</em> which commemorated the First Anniversary of 9/11 in Washington DC. <br />
<br />
Peter writes of hatred and ugliness with a gentler memory than most and his progress from playwriting to prose seems a logical development that will reach a wider audience yet.<br />
<br />
I once said that Peter’s work with young people made it possible for South Africa to export that rarest of commodities: peace. I wish to endorse his work against sexual discrimination in a similar way.<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
Taking its cue from ‘the first time’, this is a collage of what it’s
<br />
like to be South African, and male, and gay.
<br />
The experiences of some forty writers come together, in
<br />
stories, poems, letters, diary-entries, SMSes and emails …
<br />
Among the stories they tell are of first love in the face of
<br />
colour legislation that outlaws it, love that blossoms despite
<br />
religious injunctions against it, a chance finding of a condom
<br />
in the jacket pocket of a life partner, the sheer fun of being
<br />
young and gay in an early-morning that makes Cape Town
<br />
look gorgeous …
<br />
Brushing shoulders with a swathe of new and emerging
<br />
writers are two actor Knights (Sir Antony Sher and Sir Nigel
<br />
Hawthorne), two winners of the Alan Paton Non-Fiction
<br />
Award (Edwin Cameron and Jonny Steinberg), the
<br />
Dean of Cape Town Rowan Q Smith, novelists Damon
<br />
Galgut, André Carl van der Merwe, Gerald Kraak and
<br />
K Sello Duiker, legendary TAC activist Zackie Achmat,
<br />
theatre director David Lan, literary agent Tony Peake,
<br />
playwrights Peter Krummeck, Nicholas Spagnoletti and
<br />
Pieter Jacobs, arts journalist Shaun de Waal, imam Muhsin
<br />
Hendricks, defrocked and then reinstated DRC minister
<br />
Laurie Gaum, Delmas Treason Trialist Simon Nkoli, actor
<br />
Blaise Koch … and the alter-ego of that phantom
<br />
ex-Ambassadress Evita Bezuidenhout, Pieter-Dirk Uys.
<br />
Among the newer voices are Fabian Ah-Sing, Shaundré
<br />
Balie, Fourie Botha, Alisdair Campbell, Kyle Carson, Steve
<br />
Colborne, Peter Damm, Roger Diamond, Pieter Fourie,
<br />
Imraan Jaffer, Twanji Kalula, Kai Lossgott, Drummond
<br />
Marais, Mothusi Mathibe, Andy Mullins, Marius Roux,

After six years of training? Well, what do you intend to be?’<br />Mr Abbey was so angry he was spluttering. He looked down at the young man in front of him. John had thought long and hard about this moment. He had waited until he turned twenty-one, knowing that now his guardian couldn’t force him to do what he didn’t want to. He steeled himself, and then looked up at the taller man, and said:<br />‘I want … I’m going to be a poet, sir.’<br />That was more than Abbey could take. His eyes widened in outraged astonishment.<br />‘Are you mad, John? Or just a fool? That’s absurd.’<br />‘I’m sorry, sir,’ said John very quietly, ‘but my mind’s made up. I’m good, sir, better than most. And I’m sure I can earn a living by writing.’<br />Abbey looked at him as if he were some newly discovered and particularly unpleasant species, and, with an upward sneer of his lip, he said:<br />‘Well, all I’ve got to say, boy, is that you’re being … silly. I’ll tell you one thing. It won’t be long before you’re forced to give up this selfish notion.’<br />‘I don’t think so, sir.’ <em>How dare he call me ‘boy’? What’s the point of turning twenty-one if he’s still going to think of me as a ‘boy’?</em></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em><br /><blockquote><p><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">"</span> Robin Malan’s beautifully presented <em>Rebel Angel</em> is a tender, humorous and informative account of the life of John Keats ... this high-quality publication ... <span style="font-size:180%;">"</span> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;">– Michelle McGrane online at <em>LitNet</em> 1 June 2005<br /></p></span></blockquote>Junkets, Robin Malan and Andi Mgibantaka.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05258172457361315970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712336791746084203.post-14033954752245410622007-01-17T03:55:00.000+02:002014-08-12T14:44:20.156+02:00Rebel Angel at Keats HouseTowards the end of his short life (he died at the age of 25), Keats shared half of Wentworth Place with his friend Charles Brown. For some time, his beloved Fanny Brawne, the love of his life, and her mother, sister and brother lived in the other half of the house.<br />
<br />
The house is now the <a href="http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/leisure_heritage/libraries_archives_museums_galleries/keats_house/keats_house.htm">Keats House</a>, in Keats Grove, in Hampstead. It is a wonderful museum of things Keatsian.<br />

<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: courier new;">"... the book is written in an elegant and direct style ... the passages from Mr Keats's letters are remarkably helpful when trying to place Keats's exact feelings ... Robin Malan writes with a sense of tenderness and kindness ... I would definitely recommend this book to a friend." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new;">- Emily Jakubisin (a. 11)</span></blockquote>
<br />
The adult reviewer Brenda Walton notes: 'Malan's Keats must conquer an audience that does not possess a substantive cultural orientation; he must accomplish a task that at times seems surely as difficult as counting the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin: engaging a middle-schooler. ... Malan's account of Keats offers many careful touches. ... The inclusion of all of Keats's friends reinforces the Keats that emerges from Malan's pages: a young man whose talent and charisma draw others to him. ... <em>Rebel Angel</em> is not the usual juvenile biographical novel: there are a number of innovations. ... Ms Jakubisin's comment perhaps says it all: Malan writes with the "tenderness" that Keats deserves.'<br />
