Jonathan Amid


Jonathan Amid was born in Jerusalem but grew up in the coffee shops of Stellenbosch. He finds writing about himself in the third person a curious activity, and avoids literary incidents with dogs in the night. After completing an MA on the works of Michael Ondaatje in 2010 and several years as an English tutor, his future plans lean towards a generous helping of reading and writing – for business and pleasure – on South African crime writing, and continuing to explore the relationship between imagination, books and bodies.
