Deliberations in Dung Andre Buitendag

A mirthful literary and revelatory satire for anyone who has ever pondered in poop, and knows that dealing in Dung can be delightful, possibly nourishing, and philosophical - a matter of life and death.

This novella, a surprising and literary journey, takes the reader on an amusing - and sometimes human - adventure through mounds of marvellous manure, where dung is destiny, to metamorphoses into piles of heightened awareness. It is a charming allegory of an existentially- and excrementally- challenged dung-beetle, an outsider with aspirations, and the searching woman who comes to learn about his rolling, and her own, set against the backdrop of the often still, but ever-challenging savanna.
