Kgebetli Moele’s latest work is The Book of the Dead – partially written from the perspective of the HI virus. Here he talks with the Mail and Guardian about the books he loves and the way he writes.
Describe yourself in a sentence.
I don’t describe myself anymore, though I used to describe myself in the past and then within a period evolved into something else, contrary to the self-descriptions, but for the sake of it: I am human.
Describe your ideal reader.
Have not found him/her yet, thought I had but she didn’t like the thoughts and the way issues are presented and handled in The Book of the Dead (apparently because they hit home).
