Woven together in style

- Fred Khumalo KWELA BOOKS | ORIELLE BERRY

A COAT OF MANY COLOURS

IN HIS latest book, the award-winning writer presents a colourful patchwork of diverse vibrant stories befitting the title of this delightful collection.

Khumalo is always a pleasure to read and whether it’s a story of a boy playing detective, investigat­ing the case of a goat and a coat; a tale of how a woman takes revenge; how teenage rivalry rears its ugly head in a prestigiou­s girls’ school; or whether a man is cursed with an ever-growing sexual appetite; all these thought-provoking stories are told in Khumalo’s characteri­stically entertaini­ng style.

Last year Khumalo won the 2020 Nadine Gordimer Short Story Award and a new volume is reason enough to celebrate!
