Meandering Road
Written by Johan du Toit
Edited and produced by Broadcast Books
A young man embarks on a journey across outback Australia in search of his father, on the other side of the world an innocent soul finds himself on death row; a family responds to the new South Africa at the end of the apartheid era; an only daughter confronts her mother about a family secret; a classical musician reflects on the privilege of having an older sister who is always there to take care of him …
The stories in Meandering Road were inspired by pictures shared among the members of a writers’ group. This inspiration gave Johan du Toit the freedom to explore characters and draw on his personal experiences in Australia, the United States, South Africa, and beyond. The result is a collection that celebrates the lives of regular people.
‘When I was first introduced to Bernadette Foley at Broadcast Books my collection of short stories was no more than an optimistic first draft. With Bernadette's experience and generous guidance Meandering Road became a reality less than 12 months later. Forever grateful.’ Johan du Toit
