- Description
- My English half-thesis comprises semi-autobiographical short stories based on my own lived and observed experiences of patriarchal township life, but told through the eyes of others, often those who find themselves victims of societal ills and cruel injustices. The stories deal with issues ranging from rape culture, intimate femicide, social patriarchy and the vulnerability of women, children and people living with disabilities in such settings. Refusing didacticism, I seek to voice the complexity, bravery and beauty of my characters. I draw influence from Joel Matlou’s simple narration of the small details of daily life, Can Themba’s ability to find humour in the everyday, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s contemporary sass and Irenosen Okojie’s unconventional, subtle and deeply enigmatic approach to storytelling.
