Mokokoma is a rare breed. Although most of his sentences leave one with the painful task of thinking, and many of them show or remind us that we human beings are not as smart and not as important to existence as we think we are, you are way more likely to come across, in a daytime, many readers who like him, than you are to come across, in your lifetime, a few writers who are like him.

Mokokoma is a keen observer, an insightful and original thinker, and a wordsmith and a satirist of note. Many of his sentences are each way more intellectually rewarding than not a few collections of a thousand randomly selected books.

As you are about to find out, if you haven't, Mokokoma Mokhonoana wrote many of the most profound, many of the most memorable, many of the most hilarious, and many of the most thought-provoking sentences that will ever be written.
