Virtual Book Launch Istraight Lendaba and Other Stories

The virtual book launch includes a conversation between author Mmatshilo Motsei and Danyela Dimakatso Demir, who is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Danyela recently reviewed the Istraight Lendaba and Other Stories in the second edition of Imbiza Journal.

Danyela describes the short story collection is intriguing both on a formal as well as on a content level. Much like looking at a photo album with snapshots from different lives, the book offers glimpses into the lives of various characters. These characters often emerge onto the page from the most marginalised communities, communities for whom 1994 has changed nothing at all.
