"Weaves together science, romance, career, family, and higher education.... Compelling reading." —Jonathan Jansen, Stellenbosch University
"The book is moving, filled with gems." —Milton Shain, University of Cape Town
At times witty, at times moving, this autobiography/memoir by South African scientist Wieland Gevers tells the story of his overlapping personal and professional journeys as he navigated through school, home life, and a much-lauded career. Against the backdrop of the country during a time of dramatic political change, Gevers expertly weaves together the threads of personal vulnerability, uncertainties about his career path, and the history of higher education in pre- and postapartheid South Africa.
