About: A Thousand Tales of Johannesburg

Spanning more than a hundred years, A Thousand Tales of Johannesburg is a novel that documents and probes the lives of the inhabitants of this incomparable African city, the exiled, those returning from exile, and those who never left. Despite being made up of narrative fragments, A Thousand Tales of Johannesburg is a very compelling book to read, setting parts of the city in the early twentieth century, like Braamfontein Spruit, Mayfair, Turffontein, Emily Hobhouse’s home in Yeoville, animating the Johannesburg as it can be seen today. Late Johannesburger Harry Kalmer was an award-winning playwright and novelist who had authored six works of fiction and twenty-three plays.
