Dog Eat Dog Zusammenfassung

Dog Eat Dog: A Novel Niq Mhlongo

Dog Eat Dog is a remarkable record of being young in a nation undergoing tremendous turmoil, and provides a glimpse into South Africa's pivotal kwaito (South African hip-hop) generation and life in Soweto. Set in 1994, just as South Africa is making its postapartheid transition, Dog Eat Dog captures the hopes-and crushing disappointments-that characterize such moments in a nation's history.
Raucous and darkly humorous, Dog Eat Dog is narrated by Dingamanzi Makhedama Njomane, a college student in South Africa who spends his days partying, skipping class, and picking up girls. But Dingz, as he is known to his friends, is living in charged times, and his discouraging college life plays out against the backdrop of South Africa's first democratic elections, the spread of AIDS, and financial difficulties that threaten to force him out of school.

Dog Eat Dog Bewertungen

Mhlongo describes a searing world that is an 'abject pit of red earth,' an underworld of illegal activity and corruption, but one also suffused with music, from crowd-pleasing choruses in Sesotho to the soulful lyrics of Peter Gabriel, and ultimately, hope. Mhlongo's freshly told novel is the story of a young man determined to never give up trying. * Booklist *
Niq Mhlongo is one of the most high-spirited and irreverent new voices of South Africa's postapartheid literary scene. * New York Times *
Here is a full-throated romp through Soweto and Johannesburg today, with kwaito music blaring, a melange of African languages floating through the air, and a toxic mix of promise and disappointment infecting everything. * Words without Borders *
Moments of real emotional power intermingled with darkly humorous escapades ... a potential trendsetter. * African Review of Books *
Mhlongo uses his witty, gritty and vibrant style to address issues such as AIDS, xenophobia, poverty and the challenges young people continue to face in the new South Africa. * Sowetan *

Full of interesting perceptions and vivid
descriptions, and well-drawn and
believable characters.

* New Times (Rwanda) *
A very significant contribution, not just to South African literature but world literature in general. * Eclectica Magazine *
