	Talking Heads - Bryce Courtenay
		BRYCE COURTENAY: Well, Peter, until I knew how hard it was going to be, almost everything, and now I'm beginning to wonder, I,I felt that we were actually in a crusade right now in that there might be similarities between the reasons why we had a crusade in the first place and crusading of today.
		BRYCE COURTENAY: This tiny crack opens for you and suddenly you see the world from a different perspective, and looking down you see that people aren't simply there because they were born like that.
		BRYCE COURTENAY: I worked as a grizzly man. And a grizzly man was a high-explosives guy who, I'd probably detonate 50 or 60 blasts a night getting rock through what was known as a grizzly, which is a set of bars.

	Bryce Courtenay rejects 'celebrity'
		Courtenay, the author of 16 novels, is quick to play down the offensive term, despite often being tagged with it.
		Courtenay was 55 when he began writing, with his first release the semi-autobiographical The Power of One in 1989.
		Though not religious himself, Courtenay said he was persuaded to write the book because of parallels he drew from the religious fanaticism of the crusades to current world events.

		Although it was brilliantly written as all Bryce Courtenay books are, I thought the plot was very unsatisfying.
		Through Bryce Courtenay's writing, the reader is brought into South Africa once again, a world of racial segregation and hate, but at the same time, a nation of love and companionship.
		I think Courtenay is the only author I have ever read that I can actually HEAR the African music and the voices lifted up in song.

		Courtenay weaves a wonderful tale of courage, triumph and hope.
		Courtenay has lost his readership for some reason since the publication of THE POWER OF ONE.
		I felt his ideals and basic charecter remained the same but, for some reason the thought of him as a main stream adult didn't apeal to me as much as him as an adolescent child or even a mine worker.
