Connected by more than their exquisite prose, Nick Mulgrew’s new
stories delve into a world of killer eagles, tattoo removal
parlours, hardcore punk guitarists-cum-auditors, turtle
sanctuaries, plane crashes, amateur pornographers and
biltong-makers – a world concurrently too strange and too familiar
for comfort. A collection of startling imagination and sympathy –
set primarily in South Africa’s least fashionable cities and
suburbs – these stories maintain a precarious balance between rich
comedy and despair throughout their explorations of grief,
spectacle, sex, nostalgia, and the lives of animals, both human and
not. With audaciousness met by trademark spiritual undercurrents
and poetic flourish, The First Law of Sadness is confirmation of
Mulgrew’s status as one of South Africa’s best contemporary
exponents of short fiction.
