Juffrou Sophia searching for a new perspective By publishing her fascinating novel Juffrou Sophia vlug vorentoe (1993) Berta Smit, modernist Christian novelist of the sixties, has not only terminated a silence of 21 years, but also demonstrates that some text strategies of Deconstruction can be implemented in the representation of a Christian worldview. Breaking down barriers between personal life and newly created text, between master and servant of different races and different walks of life, implementing the technique of erasure and other contributing strategies, Smit creates a fascinating new world of paradox. In her search for a new perspective, the author not only applies new strategies, but also creates a solution typical to both the postmodernist novel and to the Christian faith
