Paperback. Condition: New. The Discovery of Love, Nthikeng Mohlele's debut short fiction collection, set the scene for a treatment of a multiplicity of themes while maintaining the stylistic registers of his novels. The intensity and range of the earlier stories is transplanted and further developed in A Little Light, stories that explore the complexities and contradictions of human consciousness. There is in A Little Light more overt focus on contemporary global historical events and personalities, the nature of the human heart, politics, human mortality and the afterlife. From the dusty streets of Tembisa township of the 1980s to Osama bin Laden's lair in Abbottabad, Pakistan, Mohlele is cerebral, playful, speculative, incisive and, most of all, of a penetrating narrative gaze.

Paperback. Condition: New. Storyteller-in-chief, Nthikeng Mohlele, spins another glorious tale: a former high-flying politician who now sleeps under a bridge in Johannesburg's city centre and washes dishes to survive. As his mind wanders in this self-imposed exile, he contemplates his political party, the false promises, the jaded ideology and hypocrisy that runs rampant, and the deception and treachery underpinning it. As his reveries take him through past relationships and a marriage which ended in adultery, his disillusionment, his fractured mind and unravelling personal life which led to this strange spiritual retreat is revealed. Molehle is a master at probing the depths of human consciousness and in Revolutionaries' House he asks: how do we hold a unified moral self?

Paperback. Condition: New. "I wrestled with life and lost." So begins the story of Michael, a corporate lawyer known to his colleagues and associates as Sir Marvin, who picks his way - sometimes delicately, but more often in his own blundering way - through the unfathomable intricacies that make up a life: love and anger, humility and ambition, trust and distrust, selfishness and selflessness. A flawed individual with an acute understanding of the roads that must be navigated to achieve even the slightest insight into the human condition. In this study in introspection, embroidered with lyrical prose and astonishing intuition, the hero, meditative and melancholic, is at once both tragic and comic.
