‘Catch a ride through dystopia, run through a thousand lifetimes, and rediscover your sense of wonder with fables of water spirits. The voices in ‘Fluid’ dispel the notion of a divided country. These stories haunt, enchant, and turn your heart inside out with a gloriously unflinching, shared South African sensibility. There is ‘diversity’ in ‘division’ and you are able to choose. Read these stories and come away a little softer, a lot stronger, and a bit more fluid.‘ – Lester Walbrugh, author of Elton Baaitjies and Let It Fall Where iIt Will
