Innards - Stories (Hardcover)

Imbued with the thrilling texture of township language and life, and uncompromising in its depiction of Black South Africa, Innards tells the intimate stories of everyday folks processing the savagery of apartheid with grit, wit, and their own distinctive, bewildering humor. Magogodi oa Mphela Makhene-who was born in apartheid-era South Africa-plunges readers into an electrifying first collection filled with indelible characters. Meet a fake PhD and ex-freedom fighter who remains unbothered by his own duplicity, a girl who goes mute after stumbling on a burning body, and twin siblings nursing a scorching feud. Like many Americans today, Innards' characters mirror the difficulty of navigating the shadows of a living past alongside the uncertain opportunities of the promised land. A work of intelligence and vision-flush with forgiveness, rage, ugliness, and wild beauty-Innards heralds the arrival of a major new voice in contemporary fiction.
