Three Egg Dilemma

A marvellous book, telling the story of lead character EG and the hodgepodge of people around him during a time of dangerous, all-too-familiar civil unrest. Peppered with remarkable characters, beautifully written in a magical realist style that leans heavily on realism without sacrificing the poetic, Three Egg Dilemma is one of the great South African novels. It ranks with the best of Zakes Mda, and you’ll read it with both hope and despair.
