The Afrikaner: a post-apartheid South African story captured in a must read novel by Arianna Dagnino

Arianna Dagnino is a writer, literary translator and academic researcher. Her cultural and professional experience spans five continents and includes several years in Southern Africa thanks to International Reporting. Arianna has published several books – fiction and creative nonfiction, and on the impact of digital technologies and global mobility. Her novel The Afrikaner is an on-the-road tale set between South Africa and Namibia about love, historical guilt and science. The protagonist, Zoe Du Plessis, strives for professional recognition for her work as a paleoanthropologist while reconciling a personal loss, due in part to racial tensions in the new society. The book is available as an audiobook and a film script based on the book has also been written. Arianna was born in Italy and now lives in Canada where she currently teaches Italian Studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
