Abstract

The article offers the author's insights regarding the papers of novelist Bessie Head which were gathered by curator Maria Rytter and stored in Khama III Memorial Museum (KMM). The author states that the Bessie Head papers were the original documents of Head taken out by Rytter from cardboard boxes and were old as KMM originally named Serowe Museum. The author mentions the observations he determined based on the computer files and photocopied correspondence of the papers such as that Head exchanged letters with different people relative to all the potential subjects excluding sex, Head's correspondence manifests either bitterness towards a third party or adversarial against responders and that Head had increased her library of reference and fiction books.
