    The travelling salesman: A tribute to K Sello Duiker 1974-2005
    (2005) Raditlhalo, Sam
    The young South African writer K. Sello Duiker (1974-2005) committed suicide on 19 January 2005. He had been suffering from a bi-polar disorder. He had written two brilliant novels: 'Thirteen Cents' (2000) about child abuse in wealthy, sophisticated Cape Town) and 'The Quiet Violence of Dreams' (2001) about male sexual abuse and violence in present-day South Africa. This obituary pays tribute to his brief life and his greatness as a writer.
