Description
Zakes Mda's Ways of Dying is a poignant and powerful novel that explores the complexities of South Africa's new reality. Set against the backdrop of a vast and violent city, Toloki navigates his role as a "professional mourner", attending funerals in the townships to comfort grieving families. As he reunites with Noria at a Christmas day funeral, Toloki begins to confront the painful past that has shaped him. This elegant short novel weaves together the stories of its characters, creating a magical and deeply human picture of South Africa today. Awards shortlisted for the Central News Agency (CNA) Award and the Noma Award, Ways of Dying is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
