Dog Eat Dog: A Novel by Niq Mhlongo

2.0

It was hard for me to enjoy this window into the new South Africa,set at the univ of Witwatersrand in 1994. The narrator drinks, lies, skips exams, cheats his family and does a variety of other unsavory things in the dog eat dog world he lives in. I enjoyed some of the descriptions, esp his train ride to Soweto where hawkers compete with preachers for the commuters' attention.
