The Curator by Jacques Strauss
Werner holds a tedious job in the administration department of the local university and dreams of owning his own gallery. He can't undo the past, but Werners desperation to change his own his fate will threaten not only his own family but also those still living in the aftermath of what happened all those years ago.
With its forcefully characterised anti-hero Werner, this is a book that will conjure favourable comparisons with other South African literary masters-- Barry Forshaw * Independent *
Murder is everywhere you look in this dark and gripping novel, but it’s often achingly funny. -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
Strauss mixes two narratives together with ease, and comes up with a novel that sparkles. * Book Munch *
The Curator is a very interesting and compelling read. * Savidge Reads *
