5.0 out of 5 stars it's a smashing south african success., December 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fools and Other Stories (Paperback)

Njabulo Ndebele's "Fools and Other Stories" is masterfully written. An enchanting blend of traditional South African storytelling and riveting modern prose, Ndebele poetically tells of the post-apartheid struggle that plagues his nation. A must read for any fan of Coetzee or Gordimer.

This review is from: Fools and Other Stories (Paperback)

The stories in this collection are vignettes of South African lives masterfully written. I was very impressed with how well developed the characters are. I read this book for a grad course under a grueling deadline, but still found it very enjoyable.
