For the past five years, Daily Maverick has been making sense of the madness that is South African reality. Every day, its team of respected journalists dissects politics and society with a healthy dose of scepticism and a natural loathing of spin-doctoring. Brain Porn offers the best of their astute, irreverent writing. Expect well-argued opinions and fresh analyses of the issues and individuals that make headlines: the Guptas, the President, the Public Protector, the Blade Runner, the Commander-in-Chief and the Ghost of Nkandla. A new order of sociopolitical stimulant, Brain Porn will challenge accepted beliefs and dare you to think differently. With contributions from Ranjeni Munusamy, Richard Poplak, Rebecca Davis, Stephen Grootes, Jay Naidoo, Marianne Thamm, Simon Allison, Greg Nicolson, J Brooks Spector, Greg Marinovich and others.
Circa l’autore
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.
