DAVID COOPER is spending his retirement improving his Hebrew and reading for pleasure. Previously he was a poet, literary translator, and book critic. He will not connect with those whose profiles are incomplete.
"South African born Jewish-Canadian author Kenneth Bonert’s sophomore effort The Mandela Plot is a sequel to his multiple awards winning debut novel The Lion Seeker (also reviewed on NYJB) that continues the Helger family saga begun in the earlier volume in a rather dark combination coming of age story and political thriller. A concluding epilogue in the final fifth of the novel includes commentary on post-Apartheid South Africa in general and the predicament of its Jewish citizens in particular." -- From my review of The Mandela Plot by Kenneth Bonert in New York Journal of Books #South_Africa #Jewish_fiction #political_thriller #coming_of_age
