Umuzi and Kalk Bay Books are pleased to invite you to the launch of The Institute of Taxi Poetry by award-winning author Imraan Coovadia.

Tragi-comic whodunit of Taxis and poets. Solly Greenfields, a taxi poet from Cape Town, is murdered in his Woodstock home. It is up to Adam Ravens, who once studied the art of taxi poetry under Solly, to figure out who killed his mentor and friend. Welcome to the tragic, funny and deeply poetic voice of the truly original Coovadia.

Imraan Coovadia is the recipient of the Sunday Times Fiction Award and is the author of The Wedding, Green-eyed Thieves and High Low In-between.

Imraan Coovadia will be in conversation with fellow UCT academic Harry Garuba
