Review
'...a hugely refreshing South African novel... Heyns has a knack for building clear, expressive prose like a watchmaker fitting together the workings of a timepiece.' Gareth Pike, Sunday Times; 'Heyns's first novel, The Children's Day, was impressive for its poignant lyricism; by dramatic contrast, his second novel, The Reluctant Passenger, was an acerbic romp. In The Typewriter's Tale he has fashioned an elegant combination of these apparently divergent styles.' Karen Scherzinger, Sunday Independent
