Description: "In Dobsonville, a few hours before the party of the year, a guy shares a joint with his friend Ari. Ari is always right. Ari is also imaginary. And winged. In a few hours, while Ari plays both angel and demon on his shoulder, our man will end up joyriding to a brothel in a snatched tourist rental car. But the police - and the burly tourists - are in pursuit. At some point, when you're a hunted man and there's a gun tucked in the waistband of your pants, things come to a head. Will he be okay? Ask Ari. Ari never lies. Prepare for a party night that courses from Soweto to the Joburg CBD as Tshidiso Moletsane's explosive novel serves shots of sex, drugs and anxiety while tearing into life, death, race and politics, with consequences only Ari could have seen coming."
