For today's post, I come back to Deon Meyer's Heart of the Hunter and its Netflix's movie adaptation. A minor details that I found cool: in both the film and its source material, the main character (whose name changed in the adaptation) wields an assegai among his arsenal. I would even say that is his weapon of choice. And, well, I find it cool. I think iconic characters, whether they are heroes or villains, should have a signature weapon. James Bond has his Walther PPK, Tarzan his knife, King Arthur Excalibur, it makes sense that Zuko (Thobela in the novels) has his assegai. It gives the character a neat African twist. Anyway, assegai is the word of the day.
Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.
A fitting weapon for an African character.
