Antjie Krog is klaar geskryf, sê sy. Binnerym van bloed is haar laaste boek. In hierdie outobiografiese roman wil sy ’n manier vind om gesprekke met haar ma, Dot Serfontein, voort te sit, om “afsluitende helderheid [te] probeer kry”. Die digter wat aan baie van ons bekend geraak het met ’n geliefde gedig oor haar ma, sluit haar lewe as skrywer af met ’n boek oor haar ma wat genres oorskry en taboes oopskryf. Andries Bezuidenhout lei ’n intieme gesprek oor ’n roerende boek waaruit Antjie ook voorlees – in Afrikaans en Engels.

Antjie Krog says she has finished writing. Binnerym van bloed, also published in English as Blood’s Inner Rhyme, is her last book. In this autobiographical novel, she wants to find a way to continue conversations with her mother, Dot Serfontein, to “try to find final clarity.” The poet who became known to many of us through a beloved poem about her mother, concludes her life as a writer with a book about her mother that transcends genres and lifts the lid on taboos. Andries Bezuidenhout leads an intimate conversation about a moving book, from which Antjie also reads, in Afrikaans and English.
