Following warmly received speaking events at the Franschhoek Literary Festival this month, Soutie Press is excited to launch The Interpreters: South Africa’s New Nonfiction edited by Sean Christie and Hedley Twidle in Joburg on 3 June 2025 (Love Books, 5:30 for 6pm).

Sean Christie will be in conversation with Anton Harber, Bongani Madondo and Zanele Mji.

The Interpreters is the first anthology dedicated to gathering the finest examples of creative nonfiction written in, or about, South Africa. The collection includes the country’s most celebrated literary voices – including J. M. Coetzee, Jonny Steinberg, Antjie Krog, and Rian Malan – as well as a new generation of writers like Julie Nxadi, Bongani Kona, Anna Hartford, and Kimon de Greef.
