Hatchings, John Eppel's ruthlessly funny Saturanalia is set in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

It is New Year's Day and anybody who is anybody is out celebrating At Gaylene's and Strontium Twots' mansion the businessmen, commercial farmers, successful criminals and senior civil servants gather to patronise and indulge each other to excess.

At Ingeborg Ficker's farm expatriot aid workers, refugees, dissidents and artists cavort without restraint.

At Boxer and Tracee-Lay Cock's desirable residence, the upwardly mobile - notto mention nubile - of Bulawayo kiss, weep and discuss their Gynaes.

Who is Sobantu 'The Butcher' Ikhurothi, and what plan is he likely to hatch next?

And who is Elizabeth Fawkes, and what is she hatching in her brazier?

In this zany black comedy, Eppel creates an amazing portfolio of characters, ranging from the greed driven, and exploitative to the benign.

condition: good (yellowed pages)
