Brutus distinguished himself in many fields during the first half of his 
life in SA: he was a teacher, a freelance journalist, a poet, a sports 
administrator and an anti-apartheid activist.

What was the making of this multitalented man? What were the formative 
influences in his life? And how does a biographer go about trying to 
identify these critical experiences in the absence of the man himself?
