That’s how the metropolis had ordered us. Its scaffolding and thoroughfares were testaments to the might of its vertical ambition; but it took little interest in us, the flesh inside its mills.
Presented as a message from the future, Masande Ntshanga’s new novel Triangulum boldly mixes science-fiction with philosophy and details of South African history seldom examined.
Ntshanga shot the lights out locally and internationally with his first novel, The Reactive, which was shortlisted for the 2015 Barry Ronge Fiction Prize and the University of Johannesburg Debut Prize.
An affecting exploration of bereavement, sexuality and coming of age, Triangulum is a multilayered novel that showcases a completely original talent coming into his full powers.
The book will be launched in Johannesburg on 23 May 2019 and in Cape Town on 4 June 2019.
