Fred Khumalo 
A Coat of Many Colours 

In A Coat of Many Colours Fred Khumalo presents a patchwork of various vibrant stories befitting the collection’s title. With genres ranging from noir crime to comedy; realism to surrealism, readers are treated to true variety. Characters of different races, ages, classes and genders add to the diversity of the collection and reflect the South African society: A boy plays detective in the case of a goat and a coat; a woman takes revenge; a man is cursed with an ever-growing appendage; and more!
