“At a time when South African literature is marked by the long shadow of the novel as a mode for grappling with national history and social transformation, the curation of Power demonstrates the short story’s vitality as a space for testing ideas quickly, for sketching character and place with precision, and for allowing the anecdotal or the fleeting to carry the weight of allegory.”

“Moreover, this new Short.Sharp collection frequently exposes the absurdities of contemporary existence in Mzansi, whether in the realm of precarious labour or fractured family dynamics, always returning to the question of how individuals inhabit and narrate themselves against broader currents of historical memory and social expectation. Mthobisi Myeni’s “The denizens” is exemplary in this respect.”

“Power positions the short story not merely as an aesthetic form but as a diagnostic tool, one attuned to the pulse of the present while remaining attentive to the lingering ghosts of the past. A strong example of this is Vuyokazi Ngemntu’s “The cost of freedom”. Power confirms that the South African short story, far from being a minor genre, remains one of the most agile, responsive and experimental sites of literary production in the country today.”
