Children are not only young people developing but subjects in their own right. This premise is the starting point to discuss social constructions of childhood, of adolescence and the development of social representation of children through the eyes of literature.

Join us on the 11th of February 2014 at 19H00 at the library of the Goethe-Institut, 119 Jan Smuts Avenue as we host writers Kgebetli Moele, who will read excerpts from his latest novel „Untitled“ as well as acclaimed writer and Rachel Zadok with her latest novel „Sister Sister“. The authors’ books will be available for sale on the evening.
