About the author
Gregory Olivier is a South African from Durban. He's an author of fiction and an English teacher. At this time he resides in South Africa. "I like to write fiction that has a touch of the truth in it. Rough Diamonds explores the moral judgement a man makes when he resorts to violence in order to survive. It also highlights the idea that violence taints all who are involved in the act. Yet the question hangs...How do we avoid violence when we are confronted with it and have no avenue of escape? In this materialistic world it seems man is entangled in its web." It is not about the man who you want to be; it's about who you become. "Unavoidable it may be, but, can we live with ourselves afterwards? What is the price we must pay for survival, violence against mankind by man himself ?" He has recently completed his second novel, entitled Pink Sky Dreams, which takes place in Amsterdam but also features chapters taking place in Thailand. Currently the author is looking for a literary agent to facilitate the sale of his second novel. Please see the relevant page in the menu (top left). |
