Pleasure
![These Letters End in Tears]()
![So the Path Does Not Die]()
The notion of pleasure in all its guises is one of the oldest and most enduring grand themes of literature, presented here through the eyes and thoughts of writer and dreamer Milton Mohlele. Thoughtful, eccentric and besieged by the erotic and the sensual, the profane and the redemptive, Milton thinks and writes on pleasure as it is both experienced and imagined.
Drawn against the canvas of wartime Europe and modern-day Cape Town, South Africa, Milton sacrifices all for glimpses into the secrets and deceptions of pleasure – and how powerless those apparent insights are in the vast scale of life in its glory and absurdity.
‘Meticulously crafted, comic and poignant; Nthikeng Mohlele is a refreshing, unclassifiable voice in contemporary South African fiction.’ – David Attwell
