As Zakes Mda’s 5th novel opens, the seaside village of Hermanus is usually overrun with whale-watchers–foreign visitors determined to find whales in their organic habitat. But all of them is certainly ill outfitted for romance, and their romantic relationship suggests, in what of The Washington Post, that “the deeper, darker concern here’s not really much the fragility of like, however the fragility of lifestyle itself when one surrenders wholly to the foolish center.

Both misfits ultimately fall in like. When Sharisha does not appear for weeks at a time, the whale caller frets just like a jealous lover–oblivious to the actual fact that the city drunk, Saluni, a female who wears a silk gown and crimson stiletto heels, can be infatuated with him. However when the travelers have gone house, the whale caller lingers at the shoreline, wooing a whale he provides called Sharisha with cries from a kelp horn.”
