Abstract

While D.B.Z. Ntuli employs dialogue as a means of presenting characters in the short stories contained in Uthingo Lwenkosazana (1978), thus far very little attention has been paid to this aspect of his short stories. Sithole (2017), on whose BA Honours essay this discourse is based, is probably the only scholar who has attempted it. This chapter seeks to close the gap that exists in the analysis of Ntuli’s short stories in particular, and his literary works in general.
