Brooks settled in Johannesburg after a career as a US diplomat in Africa and East Asia. He has taught at the University of the Witwatersrand, been a consultant for an international NGO, run a theatre and been a commentator for South African and international print, broadcast and online media, in addition to writing for Daily Maverick from day one. He learned everything he needed to know about politics from Casablanca. He might be cynical about some things, but a late Beethoven string quartet, John Coltrane’s music and a dish of Pad Thai will bring him close to tears.
