Dance of Life: The novels of Zakes MDA In Post-Apartheid South Africa by Gail Fincham
First Edition Published by University of Cape Town Press, 2011 Includes 15 colour art plates by Frans Claerhout
In recent years, the work of Zakes Mdanovelist, painter, composer, theater director and filmmakerhas attracted worldwide critical attention.
Gail Finchams book examines the five novels Mda has written since South Africas transition to democracy: Ways of Dying (1995), The Heart of Redness (2000), The Madonna of Excelsior (2002), The Whale Caller (2005), and Cion (2007).
Dance of Life explores how refigured identity is rooted in Mdas strongly painterly imagination that creates changed spaces in memory and culture. Through a combination of magic realism, African orature, and intertextuality with the Western canon, Mda rejects dualistic thinking of the past and the present, the human and the nonhuman, the living and the dead, the rural and the urban. He imbues his fictional characters with the power to orchestrate a reconfigured subjectivity that is simultaneously political, social, and aesthetic.
