Afrikaans- and English-writing South African author André Brink has passed away; see, for example, The New York Times' obituary of this 'towering South African literary presence', or Shaun de Waal's piece in the Mail & Guardian.
None of his works are under review at the complete review, but he is probably best-known for A Dry White Season; get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk -- though I'd also suggest The First Life of Adamastor (get your copy at Amazon.co.uk; it was published in the US as Cape of Storms, but appears to be out of print there).
