Sebastian Salt is an undecided atheist – four times married, four times divorced, four times widowed, four times prostituted, and four times arrested. Love is his biographical voyage. Blending crime, romance, and speculative fiction, this novel scrutinises the beautiful and often malignant dimensions of love. Love plumbs the murkiest depths of the human soul to ask whether salvation lies at the altar of the divine, in overcoming the weaknesses of our lesser selves or in our brief moments of romantic ecstasy. This new speculative novel is Nthikeng Mohlele’s most exploratory and conceptually rich work yet.
