- Description: Google "elephant + basenji" and you will observe a remarkable event. Every so often, on the edge of Cecil Kop Game Reserve, bordering my home town of Mutare, Zimbabwe, one of the reserve's two elephants approaches the fence of a private house. On the house side is a Basenji dog. The two animals get as close to one another as the electrified fence permits. They seem to take a great interest in each other. Neither the other elephant, nor the household's other dog, participate in the exchange; this is a communing between two unique individuals. Sometimes, the elephant lies down, and she and the dog continue staring at each other. Just what is passing between them is impossible to say, but something is going on. Curiosity at least, and a measure of trust. Albeit tentative, a new, wholly unpredictable social aggregation has come into being, neither quite wild nor tamed: feral.

- Description: Louise Bethlehem, South African-born but now tenured at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has to be one of the sharpest intelligences working in Southern African literary studies today. This slender book is characteristically scintillating, dense with metatextual theory, and shot through with anger. It is a text upon metatexts: a series of coruscating snapshots of four or so key moments of literary critical discourse that emerged from the South African 'lit-crit' establishment during the apartheid years, and one following it (the TRC). It pretends neither to be a survey of the discipline, nor--somewhat disdainfully--to be supported by an empirical layering of evidence. Rather, it explores how the discursive structures and rhetoric of chosen literary critical texts have failed to enact the liberation to which they lay claim.

Borderline recounts Dicey and some friends’ canoe trip down the Orange River, from Orania to the sea. It’s by turns lyrical and funny, and rich with historical perspectives stimulated by people and places Dicey encounters en route.

- Description: This was by way of commenting on Butler's view of Sydney Clouts's poetry. Clouts, considered by some the finest South African poet of his generation, had received a posthumous shredding in Watson's earlier essay, "Sydney Clouts and the Limits of Romanticism" (1986). Those limits were reached, in Watson's view, partly in Romanticism's "negation of modernity," and partly in failing to gain traction in the late-colonial dislocations of apartheid South Africa. Interestingly, Clouts had also contemplated the settler-inherited dilemmas of language and belonging via the thoughts of another South American poet, Jorge Luis Borges.

- Description: Though the whaling stations on the South African coast are now closed, whaling in the southern oceans, both ‘illegal’ and ‘scientific’, continues to be a matter of controversy. Exploitation clashes in complex ways with whale-watching as a touristic activity, now a major drawcard to South Africa’s coastline. It appears no thorough survey of the history and sociology of whaling has yet been written, nor of the progression of those emotional investments in the presence of whales that drive animal rights programmes and tourism alike. Such literature on whales as exists in southern Africa throws interesting sidelights on this presence. This article explores the issues through such literary works as Douglas Livingstone’s poetry and the fictions of Laurens Van Der Post, Zakes Mda, Lyall Watson and Mia Couto.

- Description: The slender poetic oeuvre of Phyllis Haring (1919–2016) is now almost forgotten. Only one collection, A Taste of Salt, was published in 1976, and a number of poems appeared in small magazines until 1991. Though she is unquestionably a “minor poet,” I argue that her dream-like, dark yet musical work is worth attention, especially as something of a local pioneer in Surrealist techniques. (Surrealism’s influence more broadly in South African poetry is apparently yet to be comprehensively explored.) This article aims to reintroduce Haring’s work, and suggest some possibilities for further, more precisely theorised study. Following a biographical sketch and brief history of her publications, I respond to selected poems to provide a preliminary taste of her salty, almost Nietzschean, world-view, her craft, and some persistent techniques, themes and images – notably of human cruelty, death, and the natural world.

Penguin Classics have reissued Harry Ashton's 1934 translation, with a couple of pages of illustrations and Mofolo's own autobiographical sketch, a letter to Mr Franz, as frontispieces.

- Description: Various branches of current ecocriticism are exploring ways of dismantling or at least diminishing dominant anthropocentric ways of evaluating the relationships among humans, the non-human world, and the literary imagination. Critical Animal Studies, Critical Plant Studies, and multispecies ecocriticism endeavour to re-evaluate the roles, even agency, of non-human life, as represented in literary works. This article unpacks the depiction of plants in three early South African travelogues (1795–1836), illuminating the sources of some enduring assumptions and iconic imageries in our relations with the natural world.
