Storyteller-in-chief, Nthikeng Mohlele, spins another glorious tale: a former high-flying politician who now sleeps under a bridge in Johannesburg's city centre and washes dishes to survive.
The Discovery of Love, Nthikeng MohleleâEUR(TM)s debut short fiction collection, set the scene for a treatment of a multiplicity of themes while maintaining the stylistic registers of his novels.
Michael K explores the weight of history and of conscience, thus wrestling the character from the confines of literary creation to the frontiers of artistic timelessness and contemporary South Africa.
I wrestled with life and lost."" So begins the story of Michael, a lawyer known to his colleagues and associates as Sir Marvin, who picks his way - sometimes delicately, but often in his own blundering way - through the intricacies that make up a life: love and anger, humility and ambition, trust and distrust, selfishness and selflessness.
Sometimes melancholy, sometimes brutal, occasionally funny and infuriating, a journalist-comrade-lover caught up in the shade and shadow of politics and social injustice faces treachery and betrayal on every level. Set against the backdrop of a cityscape that taunts and tantalises, this is where love fails and passion wanes.
