Sigh, the Beloved Country is a saucy stew of literary performance that showcases essays, memoirs, the interview as an art-form, profile as a form of theatrical set-piece, travelogues, political epistles and excursions into fantasy and fiction. It speaks to disparate genres with the same spirit as it addresses a country no longer at ease with itself.

It also drops on the tenth anniversary of his debut, Hot Type, which was more concerned with the politics of glitz: What Madondo now refers to as expensive crud. With its inbuilt shrug, Sigh is less a fan-boy book enamoured with hipsters, and more of an adult lover and critic of a country in conversation with its people: The so-called ordinary folks, the wealthy, the beautiful, the deranged and the truly genius. They are People of the South.
