Clockwork Books

Independent South African publisher & online book store. Local literature matters.

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

When a story allows me to inhabit another consciousness closely enough to experience the failure of rules, categories, assumptions that underpin what is accepted as real or true.

Avid readers of isiZulu fiction. Avid readers of fantasy/sci-fi/speculative fiction. There must be a space where these two intersect. If you inhabit this space, please find out about #Ukuthintana published by @Clockwork_Books

Here we go! Join in the conversation #UkuThintana

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

So, quick background: Early March, my ex-isiZulu teacher gets in touch. He has a complete work of speculative fiction written in isiZulu on commission from another publisher that has now dissolved their agreement. Would I be interested in publishing it?
