		ebruary 3 2005 was the centenary of Herman Charles Bosman’s birth, and Stephen Gray’s biography of the man often referred to, with reason, as South Africa’s best-loved writer reaches the shelves with not a moment to spare.
		Bosman himself, a master of this quick-fire medium, wrote two pamphlets on the murderess Daisy de Melker and hawked them personally outside the courthouse while she was on trial.
		Not that Bosman didn’t have a complicated sex life (at one point, for instance, he lived with both his second and third wives), but this piece was scurrilous nonsense that would have made even the sometime flmailer Bosman blush.

	In Search of Herman Charles Bosman
		Herman Charles Bosman, one of South Africa’s best-loved and most popular writers, died suddenly in 1951, leaving much of his work unsorted and unpublished.
		The name of Herman Charles Bosman is inextricably tied to the region he made famous – the Groot Marico district – and to the larger-than-life character Oom Schalk Lourens.
		When Human and Rousseau (Bosman’s regular publishers since 1964) expressed enthusiasm at the idea of releasing all of Bosman’s works in a complete, uncensored and accurate form, the fourteen-volume Anniversary Edition was born (with Stephen Gray and me as general editors).

		Butler is dressed in a baggy dark-navy, double-breasted pin-striped suit, white shirt, striped tie, fl shoes and charcoal-coloured fedora, and with the fedora tilted slightly over one eye, he looks a lot like Bosman would have looked in the '30s and '40s.

		Bosman, the son of Afrikaner parents, had an English education at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, where he took his degree in education.
		His novels and plays were both naturalistic and didactic, but Heijermans also wrote satirical sketches (under the name Samuel Falkland), and his skillful use of irony is also evident in the play De wijze kater (1917; The Wise Tomcat).
