- Literature
Hunter, filthy rich, American and a keen hunter, had almost everything before the barrel. Finally, his friend Van Heeren offers him a rhino to shoot. Hunter travels to Africa, but his project to complete the Big Five is abruptly thwarted by poachers. Hunter seeks revenge when Van Heeren asks him if he has ever heard of the Big Six. At first Hunter is shocked, but when he observes the young Africans hunting nimbly… A novel of radical consequence.
Gaea Schoeters’ new novel Trophy is provocative, radical and puts its finger on a wound called colonialism – an exceptional literary phenomenon. In the end, the question remains: What is a human life worth?
