“[“The Reactive” is] a searing, gorgeously written account of life, love, illness, and death in South Africa. With exquisite prose, formal innovation, and a masterful command of storytelling, Ntshanga illustrates how some young people navigated the dusk that followed the dawn of freedom in South Africa and humanizes the casualties of the Mbeki government’s fatal policies on HIV & AIDS.”Naomi Jackson, “Poets & Writers”
“Woozy, touching… a novel that delivers an unexpected love letter to Cape Town, painting it as a place of frustrated glory. “The Reactive” often teems with a beauty that seems to carry on in front of its glue-huffing wasters despite themselves.”Marian Ryan, “Slate”
“With “The Reactive,” [Ntshanga] has created an immersive and powerful portrait of drug use, community, and health issues by exploring what it was like to be young, black, South African, and HIV positive in the early aughts.””VICE”
