- Summary
- "This work chronicles the life, times and poetry of the Xhosa praise poet, the late David Yali-Manisi, and his growing friendship and fruitful working relationship with the author. The Dassie and the Hunter is a work written from an intensely personal perspective. It weaves together the lives of white scholar and black praise poet, in position worlds apart yet in spirit inextricably linked. It is a celebration of the supreme talent of a gifted African poet, and the story of a black and a white South African reaching out to each other at a time that did not easily permit such intercessions."--BOOK JACKET.
