Book Review : Ways of Dying by Zakes Mda

Toloki, the main protagonist in this narrative is a professional mourner, a last option for the man whose life is not quite the piece of cake in a vast and violent city of the new South Africa. For Toloki, in a society where death is everywhere in post apartheid south Africa, he seems to come to terms with it in a peculiar way and one of its kind, to make funerals decent with his well practiced show of emotion, so much so that he comes for hire at funerals.
