“Although he was reading a story, what he was really offering was transport. Even his stumbling words made wheels good enough to be driven somewhere else.”

Umuzi has revealed a short teaser video and quotation from The Boy Who Could Keep a Swan in his Head, the new novel by award-winning playwright, author and creative director John Hunt.

The book will be published this month, and launched on 18 April, 2018, at the Circa Gallery in Johannesburg, where Hunt will be in conversation with Harry Kalmer.
