Little Suns

by Zakes Mda

  I hardly ever thank the two lovely women in my writing life: Pam Thornley, my long-time editor, and Isobel Dixon, my agent. It is high time I did so.

  All the research for Little Suns was done, the initial chapters were written and the plan for the whole novel was executed during my sojourn as Artist-in-Residence at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Wallenberg Research Centre at Stellenbosch University, Marais Street, Stellenbosch, 7600, South Africa.
