Mokokoma is a rare breed. Although most of his sentences leave one with the painful task of thinking, and many of them show or remind us that we human beings are not as smart and not as important to existence as we think we are, you are way more likely to come across, in a daytime, many readers who like him, than you are to come across, in your lifetime, a few writers who are like him.
He writes as if he were on a mission to bed a woman or women who only sleep with men who are not only hilarious but also thought-provoking.
Mokokoma is a keen observer, an insightful and original thinker, and a wordsmith and a satirist of note. Many of his sentences are each way more intellectually rewarding than not a few collections of a thousand randomly selected books.
