It’s the first Monday of the month, so it’s BOOK CHOICE on Fine Music Radio 101.3 - I‘m Gorry Bowes Taylor: This happy hour Andrew Marjoribanks, Wordsworth Bools, brings you an inspiring bagful of the best in fiction and non-fiction. John Hanks finds cardinal imperatives and some omissions in James Clarke’s Overkill – The race to save Africa’s wildlife, while Phillippa Cheifitz finds gorgeous food for the gluten-intolerant in Jenny Kay’s The South African Gluten-free Cookbook, and more munhies in Olami, Nirit Saban’s gluten-free cookbook. Melvyn Minnaar finds Dictatorland. The Men Who Stole Africa by Paul Kenyon a fast and his most super engaging read in recent times, while Mike Fitzjames, cruel as ever, hopes to crack our minds with three dead dangerous thrillers. Vanessa Levenstein suggests that while most university students are juggling their part-time jobs and studying, Evan Spiegel had bigger plans, as she reviews How to turn down a billion dollars – The Snapchat story by Billy Gallagher. Finally Paul Duncan and Alain Proust have done it again with their new book Inside Kimberley, another stunning heritage book. Philip Todres talks to Paul Duncan.
