WOERDEN, HENK VAN & DAN JACOBSON
The Assassin a Story of Race and Rage in the Land of Apartheid
Metropolitan Books, 2001. First American Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0805066314. 0.71 x 8.55 x 5.77 Inches; 208 pages; The untold and heartbreaking account of the man who killed South Africa's architect of apartheid, one of the most dramatic political assassinations in modern history.If ever one individual could be said to have embodied the tragedy of apartheid, Dimitri Tsafas would be that man. At a time when color was all, Tsafas, bastard son of a Greek father and an African mother, was untouchable -- too black for the whites and too white for the blacks. Stateless, homeless, and loveless, on September 6, 1966, he entered South Africa's Parliament and stabbed Prime Minister Hrik Verwoerd four times with a long knife, killing the architect of apartheid, the architect of Tsafas's misery.Now, in a masterful restoration, Henk Van Woerden re-creates the assassin's cursed life and the impossibly torn society that created him. Unwanted by black or white family, denied the right to settle wherever he turns, Tsafas drifts from sea to prison, from kitchen hand to street vor, from Mozambique to Greece and Canada, and back to South Africa. With sensitivity and passion, Van Woerden traces the inexorable road that leads to Verwoerd's death, and reveals that the assassination -- a resounding blow in the war against apartheid -- was not the random act of a crazed individual, but perhaps the only choice left in a country itself gone mad. Powerful, tragic, and compelling, The Assassin is both a devastating indictment of oppression and a cautionary tale of the explosive power of racial hatred everywhere..

The Assassin is both a devastating indictment of oppression and a cautionary tale of the explosive power of racial hatred everywhere. "This life has enough interest to warrant a biography, but Van Woerden's book is in an entirely different class. he brings both the relentless gaze of the outsider and the understanding of the insider. he deftly and subtly draws an intricate picture that is both astute and sickening, moving and grotesque. This is a must-read.""André Brink "Brilliant. A wrenching work of eloquent humanity and understated rage.""The New York Times Book Review"This life has enough interest to warrant a biography, but Van Woerden's book is in an entirely different class. he brings both the relentless gaze of the outsider and the understanding of the insider. he deftly and subtly draws an intricate picture that is both astute and sickening, moving and grotesque. This is a must-read.""André Brink"Van Woerden has. has fetched Tsafendas out of the darkness and our ignominious silence so that we may be acquainted with the full humanity of his existence. Thank you.""Breyten Breytenbach"A quietly devastating work of reconstruction, giving back to the supposedly insane assassin a history of perpetual statelessness.""The Observer (London)"Thoroughly successful. suggesting in intriguing ways how a new history of South Africa might be written.""J.M. Coetzee "Powerful, tragic, and compelling. The Assassin is both a devastating indictment. and a cautionary tale of the explosive power of racial hatred everywhere.""African Sun Times"An excellent look into the human tragedy caused by a dehumanizing system of racial classification and differentiation.""Booklist.

WOERDEN, HENK VAN.
Notities van een luchtfietser.
Amsterdam, Podium, 2002. Paperback met flappen. 8vo. 183 pp. NBD|Biblion recensie Henk van Woerden (1947), schrijver en beeldend kunstenaar, schreef drie boeken waarin Zuid-Afrika de boventoon voerde. Als kind emigreerde hij erheen, later keerde hij terug naar Nederland, getekend door het land, de politiek en het verlies van zijn moeder. In dit nieuwe boek reist de auteur door de wereld (Zuid-Afrika, Griekenland, USA), al of niet in zijn herinnering, en gaat hij de confrontatie aan met zijn verleden, legt hij verbindingen tussen het persoonlijke en het politieke, en onderzoekt hij de bron van zijn reislust. Van Woerden zoekt grenzen op: dag/nacht, land/water, leven/dood, samen/alleen, toen/nu, fictie/realiteit en verbindt deze motieven op een poetische maar altijd heldere wijze. Er zijn overeenkomsten met Adriaan van Dis, maar Van Woerden is minder poseur en zijn tintelende stijl is authentieker en minder behaagziek. Deze "Notities" vormen een sprankelende bundel van een voortreffelijk auteur. Paperback; normale druk. (Biblion recensie, Drs. Cees van der Pluijm) (ISBN/EAN: 9789057591358)
