Herman Charles Bosman
Herman Charles Bosman (3 February 1905 – 14 October 1951) is widely regarded as South Africa's greatest short-story writer. He studied the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain and developed a style emphasizing the use of satire. His English-language works utilize primarily Afrikaner characters and highlight the many contradictions in Afrikaner society during the first half of the twentieth century. The poet Roy Campbell called him "the only literary genius that South Africa has produced".〔Richard West, ''The Diamonds and the Necklace: A South African Journey.'' London, 1989. p. 195. ISBN 0-340-43035-4〕
==Early life==
Bosman was born at Kuils River, near Cape Town, to an Afrikaner family. He was raised with English as well as Afrikaans. While Bosman was still young, his family moved to Johannesburg where he went to school at Jeppe High School for Boys in Kensington. While there he contributed to the school magazine. When Bosman was sixteen, he started writing short stories for the national Sunday newspaper (the ''Sunday Times''). He attended the Johannesburg College of Education (which in 2002 was incorporated into the University of the Witwatersrand)〔(Joburg.org.za ), "Wits turns 85 today", retrieved 30 December 2011〕 and submitted various pieces to student literary competitions.
