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.
