About the Book

WEAPONS OF WORDS (c) Farouk Asvat Authentic literature is the bloodbeat of contemporary society. It transmits the pains and laughter of the writer's environment. It alerts against violations of the Truth. Literature does not develop in a void. It is a transformation of the reality into an artform, utilizing the dialects of the time; getting its shape, direction and field of concern from the social, political and economic forces that interact in a particular society. The creative writer is the conscience of the people, the interpreter of his society. ... ___________________________________________________________________________ contents: WEAPONS OF WORDS Weapons of Words Creativity and Development: a critical look at black south african literature in the context of third world and world fiction The Sad Splendour of Latin American Literature Modern Arab Literature a clash of cultures Jorge Luis Borges: the forking paths of the labyrinths The Power of Words (an interview) Black South African Writing: a critical appraisal I Say THE JOYS OF LITERATURE 100 Best Books of Fiction 100 Best Books of 20th Century Fiction 10 Best Books of Fiction 10 Best Books of Short Fiction Best First Lines of Fiction 100 Best Books of Non-Fiction 50 Best Books Of 20th Century Non-Fiction 10 Best Books of Non-Fiction Senior High School Reading List Junior High School Reading List Primary School Reading List Classics Illustrated ___________________________________________________________________________ Books by Farouk Asvat: Sadness In The House Of Love (novel) The Gathering Of The Storm (novellas) I Dream In Long Sentences (poetry) The Wind Still Sings Sad Songs (poetry) A Celebration Of Flames (poetry) The Time Of Our Lives (poetry) Bra Frooks ...
