Niq Mhlongo writes about The Marabi Dance by Modikwe Dikobe for PEN SA
 More about the book!

There is a book that when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was your old friend or a relative of yours that you could call up on a phone and congratulate them on the excellent work. That is what Modikwe Dikobe’s Marabi Dance did to me. The book left me with a sense of satisfaction and completeness.
