Eat, Drink & Blame the Ancestors: The Best Columns 20099

A new collection of hallucinations from bestselling author and Sunday Times Lifestyle columnist Ndumiso Ngcobo, Eat, Drink & Blame the Ancestors features his best work from the last five years—updated, revised, reworked, and generally souped-up. Ngcobo is a creative phenomenon of the new South Africa: a one-time corporate lackey who used to write amusing emails for fun in his spare time, which eventually led to two bestselling books. Whether he’s consuming fermented beverages and communing with the ancestors, describing life with his terrorist children and skollie dog (RIP Spiderman), or dissecting dung-beetle philosophy with the Men of Thurst, this is the finest and funniest writing in the land.
