About Denis Hirson
Denis Hirson has lived in France since 1975, yet has remained true to the title of one of his prose poems, The long-distance South African. Most of his nine books, both poetry and prose, are concerned with the memory of the apartheid years in South Africa. Two of his previous titles, The House Next Door to Africa and I Remember King Kong (the Boxer) were South African bestsellers. Photo credit Adine Sagalyn.
