Review extract: 'The Marquis Of Mooikloof And Other Stories' by Sean O'Toole

Arja Salafranca, Cape Times

"Sean O'Toole's debut collection, The Marquis of Mooikloof, is utterly different in tone and style to the writing in the Caine Prize collection. He too is a recipient of professional recognition - the 2006 HSBC/ SA PEN Literary Award - for his story published here, The Road to Rephile ... Some of the stories are obviously more successful than others, and leave you grasping at their meaning, but it's clear that O'Toole is a new voice on the SA scene, a distinctive, unique voice that deserves to be heard."
