Over the past week I have been totally engrossed in Lauren Beukes’s science fiction novel, Zoo City.
I first read about Lauren in the December issue of Elle, and the reviews she got for this novel as well as for a previous work, Moxyland, piqued my interest.
I immediately made plans to add the book(s) to my “what to splurge on at Exclusive Books” list. Imagine, then, how excited I was to find the book while I was thumbing through the shelves over at the Education Library!
I’ll admit that it was risky borrowing a novel from the library when I knew very well that I had the works of Gramsci and Freire to plow through, but for good South African literature, I will always take a chance.
I just finished the book about 10 minutes ago, but I’m on such a high that I had to blog about it immediately. Realistically though, I have to be up in the morning, so I’ll just leave a teaser:
