Description:“‘Where are you from?’ I could ask her. ‘Have you had rain where you live? Are there soldiers there? Why did you come here?’‘Come with me,’ I tell her, instead.”‘Read it, read it again and run to the mountains.’ – Bongani Madondo‘Morojele is an extraordinary writer.’ – Ivan Vladislavic‘An exciting and inventive novel which brings an extraordinary dimension to the ordinary tale of life.’ – Véronique TadjoFrom the best-selling author of How We Buried Puso, Three Egg Dilemma is a haunting and beautiful book. This is the story of Ex (Example), who lives in a township on the outskirts of a Lesotho town. He stays in his dead parents’ house, decorated with all his mother’s things, where he subsists by renting out back rooms.He drinks – too much – at Mada’s down the road, and has two friends: Sticks, who sells eggs on the street, and Latrine, so called because of his meagre digestion.Although Ex used to have broad horizons, his life now is limited by the street he lives on. Once he had a meaningful job, he travelled, and had both money and hope. Life and Lesotho have been badly knocked: the country has suffered droughts and is periodically thrown into turmoil by violent soldiers or attacks by roving bandits such as the vicious Zuluboy.Early on, we are introduced to a recurring vision, or supernatural phenomenon, that haunts Ex – ‘Mota’s ghost’, a ghastly demonlike being, ghost or representation of death or fate. It first appearsto presage the death of a friend, and later returns when death visits his town. The second important figure in the story is Phuleng/Pearl, an innocent young woman, who arrives as a refugee whenthe soldiers are rampaging and stays in Ex’s house – in his mother’s room. Ex, though much older, predictably enough falls in love with Pearl, but she has other ambitions. She works in a hotel in town, and eventually we learn that she has been impregnated by a white guest. Before the end, Ex will frighten her away. She will eventually end up a refugee again, homeless and on the streets outside Ex’s house, after soldiers and gangs have torn the area apart.A visionary novel, Morojele has built worlds and characters that are unforgettable. It is set to become a classic work of South African fiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
