Description
Blind date at a funeral is a collection of coming-of-age stories by bestselling author Trevor Romain, which he recorded in journals, notebooks and on beer-stained bar napkins over the years and is retelling now. Trevor takes us on a tour of his own memories, filled with anecdotes about foolish endeavours, dumb decisions, army adventures and the searing pain of losing the love of your life. Each story is accompanied by one of Trevor's classic drawings and carefully crafted with a pitch-perfect combination of humour and nostalgia. Both entertaining and deeply moving, this is a book about what it really means to be proudly South African.

Person
Trevor Romain, a best-selling author and illustrator, was born in Johannesburg and currently lives in Austin, Texas. His children's books have been translated into 18 languages with over a million copies in print. Trevor can never remember to take out the rubbish, do the dishes or sweep the garage. For some strange reason, though, he does remember a whole bunch of random kak about growing up in South Africa, as he demonstrates in his two previous books with Penguin: Random Kak I Remember about Growing Up in South Africa and Random Kak 2: Living, loving, learning and laughing in South Africa.
