Description
Book SynopsisSet between Kwafindoda, where the nature is alive and ghosts exist even before someone is dead, and South Africa's gritty urban townships, Jah Hills explores the conflict between life and death, folklore and philosophy, the extraordinary and everyday so as to write the Unlanguaged World of today. A breathless journey, at once fevered, visionary and breathtakingly alive, it invites the reader to find wilderness and brutality in the banal, the beautiful in the bizarre and to seek answers, not in the sum, but in the derangement of its many seething parts.
Trade Review“What you’re holding right now is a kind of bomb. I’m not sure I want to tell you how to defuse it.”
-Kris Saknussemm, author of Private Midnight
