Cape Town Book Fair

Paul and I went to the Book Fair over the weekend. My goodness, I never realised that there are so many publishers, and all those fabulous books! It was a bibliophile's heaven. So many books and so little time. It was fantastic getting an insight into the world of books, meeting publishers and authors and listening to talks.

One of the talks we heard was by Tim Plewman about his book Defending the Caveman. He gave over 1400 performances most of which were sold out. I asked if he ever got bored with the show which he said, "Tired but never bored". He has written a play called Designer Genes based on a similar theme. He will be taking it to Grahamstown and then hopefully we will get to see it at a theatre near you. Angela
