The debut poetry and short story collection from the winner of a Betty Trask Award and the inaugural PEN International New Voices Award. 

In Native Life in the Third Millennium, Masande Ntshanga’s third book after The Reactive (2014) and Triangulum (2019), a poet, philosopher and programmer wrestle with systemic oppression and themselves, navigating anomie, alienation and flashes of abundance in millennial Africa. Intertwining poetry and prose, Ntshanga’s chapbook, written during lockdown, is another genre-bending, inventive and pulsive literary work by one of Africa’s most exciting young voices.
