Lionel Abrahams, a reader (Paper books) (Used)

The contribution that Lionel Abrahams has made to South African English literature is indisputable. As a distinguished poet, critic, editor and publisher, Lionel Abrahams has devoted his life to creative writing and the encouragement and promotion of new literary talent. South African literature is particularly indebted to him for his editing of the works of Herman Charles Bosman.

Abrahams has published three volumes of poetry including the acclaimed Journal of a New Man and a noteworthy sequence of stories The Celibacy of Felix Greenspan.

This volume, A Reader, contains a selection from his published poetry and prose as well as selections from a large volume of his incollected essays and critical work and is edited and introduced by his life-long friend and poet Patrick Cullinan and is especially published to honour and salute him on his sixtieth birthday.
