Rites of the ox

Slaughtering an ox means it is party time!

Whether in the heart of Afrikaner culture, or in the spirit-world of the African continent, the rites of slaughtering and feasting go hand in hand with joyous celebrations and thanksgiving.

Rites of the Ox by Izak de Vries is a collection of short stories that are sexy, funny and, at times, sad. They explore the journeys of the heart, the footpaths of religion and the mystical ways of love.

These stories are about people who love and who want to be loved.

The stories in the first half are translations of De Vries's acclaimed collection, Kom slag 'n bees. The rest are newer works, many of them appear in Byna liefde.
