Dying in New York
R200.00
Dying in New York is a haunting story of Lerato Malema, a young and irrepressible South African whose wit and resilience shine through despite the abuse she has endured from before the age of twelve at the hands of her father, Thabo.
The narrative opens in a psychiatrist’s office overlooking the Hudson river. Against a backdrop of the magnificent Manhattan skyline, Lerato paints an absorbing picture of her decade long journey from Johannesburg to the united States. Her story transitions seamlessly from the sessions with Dr Evelyn Webber, her psychiatrist, to her escape from an abusive home and her experience of the underbelly of modern South Africa.
At its heart, Dying in New York is a story of hope and deep longing, made all the poignant by Lerato’s startling candour from the first page until the book’s surprising conclusion.

Everyone is afraid of something – failure, success, loneliness, crowds, death, life – the list is endless. Fear haunts the weak and the powerful, the young and the old, the rich and the poor. It is the great equalizer. Some fears attack only momentarily, passing almost as quickly as they come. But others can haunt people for a lifetime, taking up residence in their minds and eating away at their sense of security – and eventually taking over their lives. In his new book, What Are You Afraid Of? Dr David Jeremiah identifies and explains what is at the heart of nine of people’s greatest fears and lays out a biblical plan for overcoming each one of them. He also examines one particular fear that should be part of people’s daily lives: reverence for God.

Nakhane Toure’s debut novel, Piggy boy’s blues, a distorted pastoral, is for all intents and purposes a portrait of the M. family. Centered mostly on the protagonist, Davide M., and his return to Alice, the town of his birth, the novel portrays a Xhosa royal family past its prime and glory. Davide’s journey, from the city to the country for peace and quiet, is not what he or the characters living in the forgotten and dilapidated house have bargained for. His return disturbs and troubles the silence and day-to-day practices that his uncle, Ndimphiwe, and the man he lives with have kept, resulting in a series of tragic events. Set mostly in the Eastern Cape – modern and historical – in Alice and Port Elizabeth, Piggy boy’s blues is a novel about boundaries, the intricacies of love and how the members of the M. family sometimes fail at navigating them.
