ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robin Emsley is a professor of psychiatry at Stellenbosch University and an internationally acclaimed researcher in the field of psychiatric disorders. He has authored more than 300 scientific publications; this is his first nonacademic book. He first became interested in snoek while visiting St Helena Bay, where he witnessed the ‘Snoek Run’. He started out documenting it in photographs (included in the book), but decided later that he also needed to put his thoughts on paper.
