Facebook post by Derek Davey about the launch of Graeme Feltham's With the Safety Off

James de Villiers talks at the launch of Graeme Feltham's new book With the Safety Off, published by Dye Hard Press. There were some innaresting speeches, particularly one by my old china, Nick Hauser. Nick drew parallels to Fig and Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, both schismatic characters, and cited similarities between Graeme and Herman Charles Bosman. High praise indeed for a grungy book about drugs in Yeoville in the 90s ..

You gotta be the morning aftertaste: an extract from Graeme Feltham's With the Safety Off, published in Mail & Guardian

Fig claws through the cobwebs of some or other muckmare, the details of which he thankfully cannot remember. 

He takes the mirror off the bedstand and snorts the line of coke he prepared before falling asleep like a log.

On the spot he’s awake on the double-bed sponge mattress with a crate on either side, the Hitachi L 17 on the one crate, a few books on the other (no library here, commensurate with his avowed unbelief in property), two other crates that double as chairs scattered on the floor and against the one wall his clothes are folded in wooden tomato boxes.

Exclusive Books Sandton City has ordered five copies of With the Safety Off, so they should be on the shelves soon! I wonder what Fig, the main character, would think of that - at the start of the book he is working for a Sandton ad agency!
