Indian Buses

"A former bus conductor, now photojournalist, has channelled his passion for Durban’s buses by writing a book that depicts the colourful history of the Indian bus industry."

Review of Chatsworth by René Bohnen

A nice mini-review of Chatsworth by the poet and photographer René Bohnen: "Such clean writing! Sober, unsentimental windows open onto the lives of characters who negotiate life and leave us wondering if they have slipped through the cracks or not. Bleak, but not depressing - a fascinating depiction of very ordinary days in a Chatsworth that seems timeless. Quiet portraits with lively and true dialogue, so familiar the vernacular. Well done, Pravasan and Dye Hard Press."

Chatsworth is available directly from the publisher for R160, including postage. For overseas orders, the cost is R220 including postage.
