“Everyone who comes to Fatty Boom Boom’s is a drinker, Mother. Otherwise Fatty herself will show you the door.”
“In that case what do you have?”
“Wine, gin, whiskey, brandy, umqombothi-“
I cut off her recitation.”I will have a small glass of umqombothi.”
The girl laughs.”Fatty is a big woman, Mother, and she believes in big glasses. You will find nothing small here.”
The home-brewed traditional African beer I have ordered is illegal…
from Hum if you don’t know the words by Bianca Marais (2017). Very Highly Recommended.
