The 2010 Exclusive Books Homebru Selection

by Ben - Editor on May 17th, 2010 Tweet

Alert! Exclusive Books launches the 2010 edition of its Homebru promotion today in Johannesburg.

The campaign places a couple dozen “proudly South African” titles front and centre in Exclusive Books shops and online, aiming to present top titles from a mix of genres. Your Correspondent will be chatting with Homebru selectees Chris van Wyk (Eggs to Lay, Chickens to Hatch), Nechama Brodie (Inside Joburg), Zukiswa Wanner (Home Away (w00t)), Deon Meyer (Thirteen Hours) and Marita van der Vyver (It’s Just Dessert, Dear) at the Johannesburg kick-off later today. Very much looking forward to that! It’s terrific to see BOOK SA members Kopano Matlwa, Rosamund Kendal, Edyth Bulbring, Tim Richman, Louis Greenberg (and all his Home away minions) and John van de Ruit on this year’s list.

As always, there’s room for debate about said list: where’s Antony Altbeker’s Fruit of a Poisoned Tree, for instance, or Lauren Beukes‘ Zoo City – ? And you’d think Fiona Snyckers would be in with a shout with Trinity on Air. (Last, how splendid would it be to see a Modjaji Books title in Homebru lights?) But that, perhaps, is a debate for a different day: today we congratulate those who’ve landed a place.

One item of interest: this year’s list includes a CD in addition to its standard fistful of reads, the Putumayo Africa and SA Legends Pack – a reminder that Exclus1ves.co.za isn’t just about books anymore.

Here is the 2010 Homebru selection:
