‘An exciting and inventive novel, which brings an extraordinary dimension to the ordinary tale of life’ – Veronique Tadjo

‘Morojele is an extraordinary writer. He has a poet’s eye for detail and a gift for bringing characters vividly to life. In a novel teeming with memorable misfits and survivors, the most startling creature of all is ‘Mota’s Ghost’, which is sure to haunt the reader long after the book has been closed.’ -Ivan Vladislavic

‘Where are you from?’ I could ask her. ‘Have you had rain where you live? Are there soldiers there? Why did you come here?’ ‘Come with me,’ I tell her instead.

From the best-selling author of How We Buried Puso, Three Egg Dilemma is set at a homestead overlooking a valley and around a bar in the Kingdom of Lesotho. The story follows the life of EG (short for ‘Example’) and a group of ill-assorted friends and neighbours as they attempt to survive a breakdown of civil certainty.

A visionary novel, Morojele has built worlds and characters with his dazzling prose. It is set to become a classic of Southern African literature.

Morabo Morojele, a jazz drummer, has played with Sibongile Khumalo at Ronnie Scott’s in London and performed with Abdullah Ibrahim and Winston Mankunku Ngozi. Raised in Lesotho, Ethiopia and Italy, he studied in Eswatini, the UK and in the Netherlands.
