Description
South Africa's foremost counter-culture revolutionary shares "letters" to and from his father, God, and the Devil, in this irreverent and pithy book about the world. Serious and philosophical issues of everyday life arise from the naive voice of the protagonist in this off-beat, avant-garde rant.
Readers will laugh or cringe at the author's sharp, inquisitorial eye and insatiable curiosity, which serves to remind them that we don't really have a culture at all.

[Kaganov's] virulent oppositional stance reminds us that we don't have a culture at all. Love him or hate him, this one-man cultural industry is impossible to ignore." - Anton Krueger, LitnetMore details
