Jeanne Goosen (13 July 1938 – 3 June 2020) was a South African journalist, poet and writer. She wrote short stories, children's books, plays and award-winning novels.
Goosen was a controversial writer in Afrikaans.[2] She debuted in 1971 as a poet with Owl fly away, followed by Orrelpunte. Especially as a writer of prose she attained a prominent place in African literature. In We are not all like that, (translated into English by André Brink) life is illuminated by a white family from the lower middle class in the fifties, which gets involved in all sorts of problems. It is told from the perspective of the daughter, Gertie. The appearance caused a stir in South Africa because of the attention it drew to the existence of 'poor white'.[3]
The novel Daantjie Dreamer (1993) is about a family from the 1950s. The narrator is the daughter Bubbles, who wants to free herself from the environment in which she grew up. Through her conversations with her philosophically inclined brother Daantjie Dreamer, she comes to new insights about political matters and she is aware of her own identity.[citation needed]
