1 Preface Dorothy Driver , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: A Book of Friends : In Honour of J. M. Coetzee on His 80th Birthday 2020; (p. 1-2)
'A Book of Friends is a gift to John Coetzee on his eightieth birthday. It's not simply a tribute to him, as writer and thinker, in the oblique, complimentary manner of the Festschrift, although it is certainly that too. Rather, it is a gift of love, from myself, its editor and his life-companion over four decades, and from a few of those whose creative work and conversations John has admired and enjoyed in the regions where he has lived or worked.'

'A Book of Friends is a collection of essays, stories, poems and artworks compiled in honour of J. M. Coetzee on his eightieth birthday. It includes contributions from some of Coetzee's friends and contemporaries, and is edited by Dorothy Driver, his partner over the past four decades.

'Stretching from the Americas to South Africa to Australia, A Book of Friends pays homage to friendship, literature and the work of one of the most extraordinary writers of our time.' (Publication summary)

— Review of Always Another Country : A Memoir of Exile and Home Sisonke Msimang , 2018 single work autobiography

'Msimang’s memoir, Always Another Country, registers her relocation from South Africa to Australia, but its overall coverage is the series of moves she made, mostly with parents and siblings, from Zambia, where she was born, to Kenya, Canada, and the United States, usually on account of her father’s political activity (as a young man he had been recruited to the armed wing of the African National Congress). These countries, she suggests, have their own varieties of racism, but the memoir also traces the stealthy shifts of power via class and gender in their intersections with race.' (Excerpt)
