Venilla Yoganathan Reviews The Book of the Dead by Kgebetli Moele

November 16th, 2009 by Ben - Editor

The Book of the DeadVerdict: carrot

A short but succinct take on Kgebetli Moele’s latest, which deserves more notice than it has received to date:

Just when you begin to wonder where this story about Khutso – who grew up poor in Masakeng but steered clear of the negative elements around him to make something of his life – is going, the pace changes dramatically. The result is a chilling and disturbing read, but an important contribution to the debate around sexual behaviour in South Africa today.
