Inverse Clockwise Time Anticlockwise (The Prelude) - Paperback

by Lindokuhle Edward Sukati (Author)

INVERSE CLOCKWISE TIME ANTICLOCKWISE (THE PRELUDE) is a maximalist work of art that primarily uses a percussively rhythmic vocal gymnastics aesthetic appeal which features the prominent use of assonance, alliteration and other paralinguistic literary elements. It is a story set in the African country of Eswatini (formerly called Swaziland), and is a narrative told in first hand account of perspective and storytelling by the persona, who is also the writer of the novel itself, which classes the novel as an autobiography, in a subtle sense of the word. This is because it veers off this capacity of being an autobiographical, as it goes on to dynamically explore universal themes, such as prevalent world affairs and sociological challenges, including poverty, climate change, clothing or fashion trends, systematic bureaucratic corruption. It also serves to explore inherent psychological problems, such as depression, bipolar disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other personally innate human ills, which therefore render the novel both as a psychological and sociological exploration of the human life in these spectral aspects.
