Die Judasbok | Short Stories & Fiction Anthologies

Dalene Matthee

Die Judasbok is Dalene Matthee’s first book. With this book she triumphantly announced her talent in 1982; and this collection of stories was close to her heart, as it contains twenty-five years of emotions and experiences, meditation and introspection.

“When I am out of school, I am going to … write books,” says one of her characters in Die Judasbok. “And I will be well known.” With this collection of stories and her novels Kringe in ’n bos, Fiela se kind, Moerbeibos and Toorbos, in no time at all Dalene Matthee became more than well known – she was one of the most popular Afrikaans writers.
