Innards: Stories by Magogodi oaMphela Makhene
5.0
Simply by picking up Innards, I felt like I had picked a pair of binoculars and honed in on the intimate lives of South African Black folk . Makehne brilliantly depicts life throughout many generations in South Africa. She peeled away my American blinders and allowed me to peak inside the homes of the real people in South Africa.
Makehne exposes her readers to realities we want to be ignorant about. The voices she amplifies forces us to truly listen, to truly feel, to begin to understand the stories that must be told.
Yet, despite the rawness of her tales, Makehne weaves tenderness into each of them. She finds a way to reach out and touch your soul with each word she writes.
