The English Academy of Southern Africa awarded Alex Sudheim the Pringle Award for 1999, on March 7, for his reviews published in the Mail & Guardian’s Friday in 1998.
Sudheim’s work was honoured for its widely diverse nature.
Stories he has written for Friday were named, specifically his look at Durban’s Indian cinema industry, his survey of the architecture of conscience titled “Burning bridges” and his penetrating look at a successful hard-porn cinema in Durban.
Other winners were C Boughey for her writing on education and Brian Walter for poetry published in New Contrast journal. Congratulations, Alex!
