OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

Earlier tonight, Joanne Hichens hosted a private launch of her memoir at her home in Muizenberg. Friends gathered to celebrate the author and her amazing achievement. Tracy Going, who endorsed the book with a wonderful shout, kindly agreed to interview Joanne at the function. We all sat around Joanne’s lounge, kitchen and stoep – enthralled!

And earlier today, LitNet published a wonderful reader’s review of Death and the After Parties, written by Barbara Erasmus.

Thank you to everyone who made this book possible, and thank you to everyone who was there tonight to welcome it officially into the world.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
