| Summary: | "With Schoeman, individuation does not become a selfish retreat from reality - for that his work is too involved with the situations of the day. But it helps to create distance. Detachment from the surrounding is not a selfish turning inward, not a paralyzing withdrawal, but an inward journey that stimulates creative investigation of the unconscious. The novels take the reader on that silent journey. They offer experiences of an encounter with silence, with the self. This work by Wepener succeeds in explaining something of this process and inward journey, without becoming prescriptive or moralizing. Precisely because of this, Wepener finally gives guidance in a practical way to those who are faced with death." From the Foreword by Willie Burger, May 2017
