Don’t jella, vang tips. That’s what these girls need to understand. They can’t be near that I am the most beautiful girl in school, and now it’s going to be worse because I will be the Beyoncé of the banquet. Jassis, what do they then think? Not even the first princess comes close. I will be the winner by far, and all the girlies are going to choke.
Following on from the critical acclaim of Those Who Live in Cages, Terry-Ann Adam’s latest book, White Chalk, is a collection of short stories set in Eldorado Park, the site of Terry-Ann’s inspiration. Her sentences positively glow as she documents the wonders and sadnesses of everyday life. These rich and powerful stories confirm Terry-Ann Adams’ place as one of the brightest stars of new South African writing.
This fearless collection of stories takes the reader on an odyssey of love and grief. Terry-Ann Adams’s peerless writing brims with fire and wonder. You will be provoked and you will exult. Above all, you’ll remember where you were when you read White Chalk.
White Chalk will blow you away by its honesty, depth and insightfulness ~ Lorraine Sithole
