RICHARD RIVE




Richard Rive, from the beginning of his literary career back in the sixties, signalled to the world that he was a special, confident talent. This South African writer and academic went on to study even further in America and England - subsequently delivering lectures in universities around the world.
His published work included short stories and novels – Modern African Prose, Advance, Retreat, Emergency, Buckingham Palace, District 6; Writing Black, Quartet, African Songs, Olive Schreiner. Sadly, Rive was murdered in 1989 at his home base, Cape Town.
