Getting a plug from Nadine Gordimer does not mean you are ready for primetime yet. ( ) A humorous and raucous story about a black college student in post apartheid South Africa trying to make his way through college during a very turbulent time in South Africa's history. Dog Eat Dog similar to Urban Lit in the USA in that it follows an impoverished youth through the underbelly of society (the townships in this case), but different because it follows the student as he tries to get ahead at school in anyway possible. Though I felt the book was good, though not great, I will note that this book probably will resonate with the "kwaito generation" much more than with a white man living in the United States. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Dingz is an average Wits student - struggling with money, partying with his friends, picking up girls, skipping lectures, making up elaborate excuses for missing exams. A bright, articulate guy, Dingz and his circle of friends sit around drinking and discussing current affairs - Aids, racism, South African politics and history - in between being kidnapped by taxi-drivers, contracting gonorrhoea and trying to fake a death certificate. This is an authentic, witty slice-of-life set at the time of the first democratic elections, full of interesting perceptions and vivid descriptions, and well-drawn and believable characters. All in all, an exciting and lively read; the narrator has a humorous, wry voice, perceptive and cynical. A glimpse into the lives of the "kwaito generation," both in the township and on campus.
