Lunch with Rebecca Davis and Marianne Thamm

Up to the minute, informative and enjoyable.

‘This book is teeming with incisive commentary on big, scary concepts,

coated with just enough LOLs to make the medicine go down.

It’s Rebecca Davis at her hilarious and thought-provoking best.’ – T.O. MOLEFE

Date                            Thursday 27 August 2015

Speaker                       Rebecca Davis in conversation with Marianne Thamm

Guest speaker Rebecca Davis will be in conversation with Marianne Thamm  her newly launched book BEST WHITE AND OTHER ANXIOUS DELUSIONS will be introduced.

Rebecca Davis has been described as one of the funniest writers in South Africa today. Her razor-sharp wit combines with her acute powers of observation to produce social and political commentary that will have you in stitches even as it informs and provokes you to think seriously about the topics she discusses.

An award-winning journalist, Davis' writing appears in The Daily Maverick and other South African publications, including a weekly column on TV for The Sunday Times.  Her Twitter bio @becsplanb – ‘30 something writer, dreamer, lover, lemur, thinker, talker, reader, stalker’ pretty much says it all.  You may also have heard her on Thursdays on the John Maytham show on Cape Talk…  Don't miss it!

Author, ghost writer, comedy script writer, journalist, editor, columnist, translator, blogger, MC and occasional public speaker Marianne Thamm is a woman of note. Some of her recent books are Here I Am - memoir of PJ Powers and To Catch a Cop - The Paul O'Sullivan Story among many more. I could go on and on but space constraints don't allow.

 Chef/Patron Edgar Osojnik  will be creating a delicious luncheon and the menu will be accompanied by Buitenverwachting’s excellent wines.  The price is R270 per person.

Exclusive Books Cavendish will have a selection of books on sale for those who would like to buy books.

A few seats still available at what promises to be a fun and informative luncheon.
