On Attending My Own Wake & Other Episodes

It is a thing of supreme difficulty to write of hard things with clarity, truth and music. Aduke Gomez somehow managed this feat in On Attending My Own Wake & Other Episodes. In a society that has succeeded in banishing taboo subjects to the realm of whispers, Aduke’s unsettling script marks a point of departure and of supersession. There is dark humour and candour here, and, uncannily, there is hope too and a throbbing pulse.
