Niq Mhlongo: For You, I'd Steal a Goat, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For You, I'd Steal a Goat is a vibrant collection of short stories filled with memorable characters, intriguing plots, and twist endings. It explores a wide range of themes, such as corruption, racial bias, family troubles, and lovers' spats, to name a few. In his stories about queer relationships, Niq Mhlongo surfaces the complexities of a community whose narratives have been silenced. With his keen observations and insights into human nature, Mhlongo explores the things that people do for each other, but also to each other, including acts of injustice and exploitation as well as of love and desire.
Mhlongo's stories are critical, erudite, and masterfully crafted using satire and careful deliberation to connect to the quotidian lived experiences of readers. With a sense of humor, Mhlongo reflects on some of the greatest transformations South Africans have faced in recent times and engages with crucial matters in the present.
