Wesley Roodt on his Debut Novel “All the Saints”

Today we’re speaking to Wesley Roodt, Chevening scholar, filmmaker and educator, whose debut novel, All the Saints, brings the gale-force gees of an Eastern Cape boys’ school to the page in a voice that is as funny as it is devastating. Through Isaac “Izzy” Kingston’s confessional narration, the book plunges readers into rugby fields, overnight excursions and the quiet corners where overachievement, fear and queerness collide in contemporary South Africa.
