It Might Get Loud - Ingrid Winterbach

Description

'It Might Get Loud' by Ingrid Winterbach follows Karl Hofmeyr, a devoted heavy-metal fan whose obsessive-compulsive habits make an already difficult journey even more complicated. After receiving a disturbing call about his brother Iggy, Karl travels to Cape Town to find out what has happened to him, while elsewhere Maria Volschenk sets out to understand the circumstances surrounding her sister’s death. Their separate journeys eventually bring them together at an unconventional community on the slopes of Table Mountain, where the boundaries between ordinary reality and the strange become increasingly blurred. A darkly comic and psychologically rich novel about family, grief, obsession and the search for meaning.
