@Jakoyo, why is there a malnourished canine on the cover?

I don't like romance novels. Especially ones about school, education, teacher-student affairs, too corny.

Not my kind of book. I shall skip.

Jakoyo is reading  DISGRACE. Written by a David Lurie , a South African University poetry lecture on his life tribulation . His fall from grace to grass.  His impulsive affair with a student . The affair turns sour , He is denounced and summoned before University Inquiry Committee. He admits , but refuses to repent , forced to resign.

From there it is one tribulation after another. Very interesting and easy read.

It won a nobel prize.

That reminds me of a famous Kenyan lecturer at the UoN.  The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
