I feel about Etienne Leroux’s book “Sewe Dae by die Silbersteins” the same way as I feel about Cliff Richard’s movie, “Summer Holiday”. It’s impossible to be objective, because I was exposed to it at a young age. I loved Leroux’s book to bits. Even today, if I reread it, evokes the same sense of wonder. However, it’s perfectly probable that I might feel different about it had I experienced it now for the first time. As things stand, I feel remain forever blind towards any mistakes in such personally (to me) influential work.
