Griet Skryf 'n Sprokie
Share
Sy moes sprokies spin om aan die lewe te bly. Nie net om haar brood te verdien nie, maar ook om die dood te flous. Soos haar heldin en rolmodel, die slim Sjeherazade.
Griet skryf ’n sprokie is die verhaal van Griet Swart, wat deur die traumas van miskrame, kindersterfte en egskeiding gedryf word tot die punt waar sy een aand haar kop in ’n gasoond druk. ’n Dooie kakkerlak in die oond red haar, want vir die res van die aand maak sy oond skoon.
As terapie raak haar shrink haar aan om oor haar ervarings te skryf. En só kry die storie van Griet gestalte, ’n storie van seerkry en woede, maar verlig deur haar onvernietigbare sin vir humor. Terwyl sy die lang pad van genesing loop, bly sy halsstarrig glo in ’n wonder – dat sy, soos Grietjie, aan die behekste donkerbos sal ontkom, en dat sy haar prins sal vind.
Griet skryf ’n sprokie is onteenseglik een van die bekendste én mees opspraakwekkende boeke in Afrikaans! Met sy skerpsinnige puntigheid, humor en gloeiende sensualiteit is dit 'n boek wat met sy verskyning in 1992 die erotiek in Afrikaans óópgeskryf het.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
