| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/13934 A gift of stones O'Toole, Sean W Creative Writing Includes bibliographical references (leaves 214-215). A collection of eleven short stories, grouped under the tit A Gift Stones. The key thematic concern is the portrayal of dysfunctional individuals contemplating loss. The author offers a definition of his understanding of dysfunctional in the introduction, and further elaborates on the concept of documentary realism. The author proposes the expression “Boer humour†as shorthand for a stylistic drift in recent South African fiction. The deficiencies of journalism apropos prose fiction are discussed, and the author also considers the influence of photography on his prose fiction. 2015-09-15T10:10:02Z 2015-09-15T10:10:02Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13934 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
