Join us for the launch of Ted Botha’s “Hollywood on the Veld”.
The book is about the bizarre but true story of IW Schlesinger, the American immigrant and tycoon who crazily tried to create his own version of Hollywood at the same time the real Hollywood was being born, not beneath the ridges of Los Angeles but beneath the ridges of Johannesburg. It is a tale full of many of the same elements as Daisy De Melker, my last book about the City of Gold, but instead of a murderer being the driving force, it’s the excess and fantastic vision of a man reaching for the stars.
