Coming September 21st
From Gollancz BooksHardbackAudio (in all the usual ways)eBook (and all the usual formats)
Opening Paragraph(1)Jaget said he’d been watching this documentary on TV about the way people learn to track animals.
‘Not white people, right?’ he said. ‘Like people that grow up in the bush.’
In this case !Xun people from Southern Africa, only Jaget couldn’t do the click sound until I taught him. I can only do it because I once harboured romantic dreams of emigrating to South Africa and had got someone to teach me. Since I hadn’t practised in ten years it probably meant we were both doing it wrong. We got some from funny looks from our fellow passengers – possibly because we were both in full uniform.
(1) Yes yes I know strictly speaking not a paragraph ok? Do you want to read this or not?
