    The Paris Muse by Louisa Treger

    Paris, 1936. Dora Maar, a talented photographer and painter, meets Pablo Picasso and is instantly drawn to his intense creativity. Their passionate relationship, marked by love, sadism, and Picasso's infidelities, pushes Dora to the edge. The Paris Muse, by Lousa Trejar is a fictional retelling of Dora's journey, set against the backdrop of Paris and the French Riviera. As Picasso paints Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, their relationship darkens. With World War II approaching and the Nazis invading, Dora suffers a breakdown and is hospitalized. Atmospheric and powerful, The Paris Muse sheds light on Dora's life, ensuring she is no longer a forgotten figure in Picasso’s story. In this episode of Pagecast, Louisa is in conversation with writer, editor, literary critic and publisher, Karina Szczurek.

    Breaking Bread by Jonathan Jansen

    Professor. Pundit. Public nuisance. In his columns, books and on social media, Jonathan Jansen is prolific, and he likes to speak his mind about schools and universities, race, politics and our complex South African society. He has brought incisive analysis, compassion and a sense of humour to some of the most controversial issues in our country for many years. And now, in this memoir, Jansen goes back to his early years: growing up in a loving, fiercely evangelical family on the Cape Flats, being put on the road to purpose by an inspiring school teacher and becoming the first of his generation to go to university. In this episode of Pagecast, Prof Jansen is in conversation with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis

  4. Beeld 50: Samesteller Erika de Beer

    Beeld 50: Samesteller Erika de Beer

    In Beeld 50 samesteller Erika de Beer, vertel dié geliefde koerant se joernaliste hoe hulle juis dit gedoen het deur die dekades en wat hulle steeds bybly van daardie ervaring. “Nooi, ek praat nie met julle nie. Julle lieg van bladsy een tot die einde . . . maar ek is nie so seker van die sport nie.” – “Kommandant-generaal” Fritz Meyer van die Wenkommando aan Carolien Saayman van Beeld Die afgelope halfeeu het meer as 15 000 uitgawes van Beeld verskyn met derduisende stories in woord en beeld. Regdeur hierdie 50 jaar is ’n mantra in die redaksie: “Slaan die groot storie hard.” In Beeld 50 vertel dié geliefde koerant se joernaliste hoe hulle juis dit gedoen het deur die dekades en wat hulle steeds bybly van daardie ervaring. Die boek neem die leser op ’n reis deur van die grootste nuusgebeure sedert 1974 en weerspieël die geskakeerde leefwêreld van die Afrikaanse gemeenskap in die noorde van die land. Beeld is die Suid-Afrikaanse dagblad wat al die meeste as die mooiste aangewys is – daarvan getuig die foto’s, voorblaaie, spotprente en grafika op dié blaaie. Tog is dit nie ’n beste-voetjie-voorsit-soort boek nie, want dis in die eerste plek joernaliste wie se stemme jy hier hoor. Op die ou end is die belangrikste element die leser. Soos Pieter du Toit in 2014 as nuusredakteur gesê het: “Ons lojaliteit lê by die briefskrywer wat ons kapittel oor ’n onbesonne hoofberig, die intekenaar wat kla oor sy nat koerant op die grasperk en die leser wat dankie sê vir die nuwe Saterdag-Beeld.”

  5. The Super Cadres by Pieter du Toit

    The Super Cadres by Pieter du Toit

    The ANC has ruled South Africa for three decades during which time the country has gone from the promise of the Rainbow Nation to disfunction and despair. In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit examines this legacy from the early halcyon days through to the disappointment of the Ramaphosa presidency. Du Toit asks key questions before coming to a critical observation and a damning conclusion: What was the state of the ANC when it took power? Was ANC failure inevitable? Did they inherit a country so stricken by apartheid that success was impossible? When did the first signs of misrule and corruption occur? How did each of the presidencies perform, from Mandela to Ramaphosa? What role did each play in the road to failure? What was President Cyril Ramaphosa doing to stop state capture while he was deputy president? Du Toit concludes that at the very centre of ANC - and thus state - failure is 'cadre deployment' which the ANC adopted as official party policy under President Thabo Mbeki. He shows how, over time, the appointment of cadres at every level of government inevitably led to the (con)fusion of party and state, the spread of incompetence, and the dire corruption that ate into every part of the country once Jacob Zuma took over. In this episode of Pagecast, Pieter is in conversation with CapeTalk radio presenter John Maytham.
