Catherine McCallum

Catherine McCallum has lived in Johannesburg, South Africa since the late sixties. A child of global travelers (India, Burma, Gibraltar, England, Canada, Zimbabwe), she had stayed firmly put in the city of her choice. A fascination for family memories has led to two fictional books about interpretations of the past, either flawed or the glorious re-telling of tales. Her books also capture the South Africa of today – the clash of the presumption of the young and the experiences of the old. After a career in Australia and Europe as a graphic designer and art director, I now work as a writer from my home on the east coast of Tasmania.
