'Hierdie sketse, gepubliseer terwyl Krige nog in Spanje was, het ook dadelik in Suid-Afrika indruk gemaak. Reeds in Januarie 1935 skryf Jacques Malan in The Critic: "A prose full of winged neologisms and supple rhythms ... which dulled the contents of the columns accompanying it into drab death. Here is a writer who can write not a new note in Afrikaans but a whole symphony ... " En toe die sketse eindelik veertien jaar later in Sol y Sombra gebundel word, is hulle allerweë hoog aangeprys. Verskeie kunskritici het al daarop gewys dat daar 'n sterk onderleggende verwantskap bestaan tussen Uys se werk en dié van sy jongste broer, François, die bekende skilder en tekenaar. Nêrens kom dié verwantskap duideliker na vore nie as in Sol y Sombra. Want hier trek die twee broers skouer aan skouer deur dieselfde land, dieselfde ervarings, aanskou hulle die dinge feitlik met dieselfde oë. Mooi vul hulle mekaar aan. Tussen teks en tekenings is daar 'n volkome eenheid.' Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
