Summary
A haunting, genre-defying novel set in a dystopian-tinged version of Lesotho. It follows EGshort for 'Example'a once-ambitious, now disillusioned bachelor eking out a living in his parents' crumbling home, haunted literally and metaphorically by "Mota's ghost." When Puleng (later Pearl), a vulnerable young woman, arrives fleeing violence, their precarious cohabitation leads to complex bonds of compassion, power, and misstep. With vivid characterslike the larcenous, Bob Marleyloving Sticks and the steady elder Mkhuluthe story navigates poverty, social collapse, and human resilience. Blending magical realism, literary horror, philosophical reflections, and tender human connection, the "three-egg dilemma" symbolizes the choices we face in scarcity, hope, and survival. It's a visceral, beautifully crafted meditation on community, agency, and the haunting grace found in fractured lives.
