Triangulum door Masande Ntshanga
I find it difficult to know what take away from this coming of age sci fi mystery, but it placed me under a spell and I couldn’t get it out of my mind.
Slow to start. I couldn’t tell if the main character was unintentionally boring and monotonous or if it was a deliberate portrayal of depression. The plot meanders so much that the primary mystery never gets a chance to drum up any real suspense. The end drops a twist that comes too late to be rewarding. The book does have a few moments of striking detail, and the ultimate judgment on humanity for abusing the environment is something I support. Bring on the apocalyptic meteorite, baby, we don’t deserve Earth.… (meer)
This is an excellent puzzle of a novel, featuring a very intriguing unreliable narrator. It's a science fiction tale, blending elements of near-future dystopia, UFO sightings, character study, and South African history into a cohesive, challenging whole. After I finished it, I went back and re-read the opening chapter, and I became amazed at the quiet power of the novel.
