''Jani Confidential'' is a memoir by South African columnist Jani Allan, once the most famous media figure in the country as a columnist for the country's mass-circulation ''Sunday Times''. Allan charts her rise in South African journalism against the backdrop of excess and decadence of the country's white elites. Allan's life unravels when an interview with the late Eugene Terre'Blanche threatens to derail her glittering career. Her memoir became a critical success, lauded by publications such as the ''Daily Maverick'', ''Mail & Guardian'' and ''Noseweek''. Commercially ''Jani Confidential'' also performed well, becoming a ''Sunday Times'' top five bestseller. The memoir was published by Jacana Media on March 16, 2014. ==Background== Allan's memoir was published two years after her return to journalism. Allan began writing again in March 2013 after an extended absence and launched the blog ''My Grilling Life'', a chatty restaurant diary about a South African household name that becomes a waitress in New Jersey. Allan later won viral success for her open letter columns to canned hunting advocate, Melissa Bachman and disgraced athlete Oscar Pistorius. Her return to writing also led to a 3-page interview spread in the ''Mail & Guardian'' in October 2013 in an award-winning profile story titled 'The return of Jani Allan'.〔(The return of Jani Allan ) Mail & Guardian. 4 October 2013〕 Against this background of renewed interest, Allan was contacted by Jacana Media to publish her memoirs. The research efforts for the project included gathering materials from storage in South Africa and England. Among these were the court transcripts of Allan's 1992 libel case against Channel 4. Taki Theodoracopulos purchased the records for 5, 000 pounds and gifted them to Allan believing she was 'mugged' by her unsuccessful libel action.〔
