FINDING MR MANDINI by Jonathon Morgan and the Great African Spider Writers

A very hard to find and interesting looking book from South Africa. This is a used book in fair condition: pages are browning with age; cover is worn and creased; mild corner curls; looks rough but perfectly readable, rare and cheap. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: An assemblage of the lives and stories of several homeless people. There's Valentine from Cameroon whose grandfather taught him how to catch mermaids; Pinky who was eight in the 1976 riots; Gert the horse thief who never attends a meeting but whose stories make a big impression on the group; Virginia the actress with the narrow bed; Patrick the cartoonist who is forced to eat live birds; Fresew the Ethiopian chemist; Steven the ex-boxer who can change the colour of a cow; Robert who explains how to remove tattoos with condensed milk; and Sipho the much-loved poet who lives in a drain under the city and who goes missing. This title is full of stories of struggle and triumph.
