	Lewis Nkosi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Lewis Nkosi who was born in Durban, South Africa, in 1936 is considered one of Africa’s most important authors as well as literature and culture critics.
		Nkosi was soon prevented from writing his criticisms of the regime from inside his country.
		Nkosi contrasts the main theme, the segregation of sex partners on the basis of their skin color, with the background motif of the birds who seem to enjoy more freedom — from his cell window, Sibiya watches the birds freely pair up with one another in flight.

		Nkosi: That is an aspect of tradition that sticks in the craw of modern African practitioners of narrative.
		Nkosi: Well, just as Mating Birds is partly about narrating, the play tries to illustrate the very important principle that he or she who narrates is the one controlling a version of history.

		Nkosi admits to having been “exercised” by certain questions that are the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of this novel, most notably the determinism inherent in the Marxist and Hegelian view of history, the role of the heroic individual as well as the effects of accidental contingencies on well-planned operations.
		But they are an essential element of Nkosi’s intention, requiring the reader to examine the idea that “men of action are able to live in suspension as if love and that type of emotion exist only for the purposes of feeding into their work...

		In this context, Lewis Nkosi’s review of the film is revealing: “It’s hard to work at anything truly creative in South Africa---to use the kind of material found in this country---without becoming involved in a very personal sense with the tremendous problems that affect all sections of the population.
		My communicating to Lewis Nkosi today the sad splendor of Lionel Rogosin grave side, was because of my having become aware in 1987 while in exile in the then West Berlin that they had worked together with Bloke Modisane in the making of the film.
		Lewis Nkosi, who was then living in Warsaw and with whom I was in close contact, was pleased with this eventuation.

	olu oguibe - poetry in a season of anomie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		In a radio interview with Lewis Nkosi (I believe in 1962, I'd have to check the dates), Okigbo stated: "What has influenced me most are not poets but musical composers...
		The composer is working with abstract sounds while the poet is working with words." He also revealed that he was "under the spell of the impressionist composers; Debussy and others" while writing Heavensgate, and that he began writing poetry seriously in 1957 only after he quit composing music.
		plain, Lewis takes issue with rap and speaks of the "purity" of poetry, which leads one to think that he believes poetry to be an elevated literary form distinct from the insurgencies of the oral.

		With the Atlantic in his lungs, Nkosi, now retired in Switzerland, after a successful literary career in Europe, Africa and America, tells me with pleasure that when he first walked into the Durban offices of Drum, two pairs of feet resting on a desk greeted him.
		Nkosi's absorbing and fine novel is such a leafed score of reflection and sardonic wit.

	LEWIS NKOSI auf der MARABOUT-SEITE - WEISSE SCHATTEN
		Lewis Nkosi, der heute 67-jährige Rezensent und frühere Mitarbeiter des legendären Drum-Magazins, schreibt in diesem Buch aus der Psyche eines mutmaßlichen Vergewaltigers.
		Was sonst die heikle Frage nach Aggression oder Verführung aufgeworfen hätte, deckt jetzt - vor allem wegen des kommentarischen letzten Kapitels mit einer Eloge auf die Freiheit - die latente Gewalt auf, die in der Sklavenmoral der Unterdrückten schlummert und sich hier in der sexuellen Unterwerfung einer weißen Frau äußert.
		Nkosi schildert die Besessenheit Sibiyas in einem einfühlsamen Stil; in fiktiven Psychiatergesprächen und mit Rückblenden reicht er Sibiyas Lebensgeschichte und Empfindungen nach und legt das ernüchternde Fazit nahe, dass jede Grenzüberschreitung in der Beziehung zwischen Schwarz und Weiß in einem Fiasko enden muss.

		Der 1936 im südafrikanischen Durban geborene Lewis Nkosi gilt allgemein als einer der bedeutendsten Literatur- und Kulturkritiker nicht nur seines Landes, sondern seines ganzen Kontinents.
		Dabei durfte Nkosi seine Kritik schon bald nicht mehr in seinem Heimatland äußern: Als er 1961 mit einem Stipendium zum Studium nach Harvard ging, wußte er, daß ihm die südafrikanische Regierung die Wiedereinreise nicht gestatten würde.
		Fortan lebte Nkosi, der heute in der Schweiz wohnt, als Publizist und Literaturwissenschaftler unter anderem in den USA, Zambia und England, von wo aus er über das kulturelle Geschehen berichtete und gegen die Politik der Apartheid in seiner Heimat anschrieb.

		Enerzijds is Veronica een exotisch object, een Fremdkörper dat in bezit moet worden genomen, anderzijds vervult ze de rol van de femme fatale die Sibiya bewust haar 'nauwe spleet' binnenleidt om hem vervolgens te gronde te richten.
