The Brooding Clouds collection is a gem of creative achievement that stands as a poignant tribute to the tremendous talent of a writer cut down much too soon. Brooding Clouds is a posthumous collection of short stories and poems that were written as a prequel to Phaswane Mpe’s acclaimed bestseller, Welcome to Our Hillbrow.
Remarkable series of stories and poems telling from the inside out the tragic experience of inter-twining lives. The work is not perfect - the poems too oblique, the writing sometimes clumsy - but the sensibility of the author mesmerized me.
