The Whale Caller by Zakes Mda

The Whale Caller is living a quiet life in his bungalow on South Africa's Cape, spending his days calling to the whales out to sea, eating macaroni cheese each night. His life is peaceful is a little eccentric, until a drunken woman in stilettos who has been following him about for weeks, finally manages to invade his life for good. Together they form a strange and intense love affair, brimming with alcohol and jealousy, which threatens to destroy them both. Beautifully written, witty and magical, Zakes Mda creates a world that is at once enchanting and very real.
An internationally acclaimed novelist and playwright, Zakes Mda has been awarded every major South African prize for his work. He is married with four children and is a professor of creative writing at Ohio University.
