Enter recipient email address Kobby Ben Ben stood out from his very first appearance at the Franschhoek Literary Festival. The bright red leopard-print dungarees he wore to the welcoming event were followed by a series of unusual outfits that had some festivalgoers wondering if he had a secret wardrobe department behind the scenes.
Ben Ben was a hit on stage, especially at the panel on writing about sex, where he had the audience in stitches. He was at the fest to talk about his first novel,, which has some of the extravagance seen in his outfits. It's a wild ride in several voices, a murder mystery and a piece of social commentary written moreover from a queer perspective, which we don’t get enough of in writing from Africa.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
