You ever lost a sock and swore it slipped into another dimension?
Now imagine that, but with a whole Tuesday!
Tuesday went missing!
Not your socks, not your keys, not your dignity after a bad haircut - but Tuesday.
Our exhausted, broke narrator was just trying to survive another landlord visit, dodge a few WhatsApp family groups, and maybe find clean socks in his hidden treasury called the laundry basket. But now he's stuck in a reality glitch where:
- Prophets are live-streaming emergency Bring Back Tuesday church services,
- Politicians are arguing over who misplaced the day,
- Aunties are blaming the children and their smartphones,
- And a mysterious government department called Temporal Affairs insists this is all a minor filing error.
When strange posters started appearing and dreams began leaking into the streets, our reluctant hero is dragged into a cosmic paper trail that runs from cramped city rooms to dusty village shrines and beyond, to the strange waiting room where forgotten days go to sulk.
To fix the timeline (and avoid eviction), he'll have to bargain with ancestors, out-argue a literal calendar demon, and face the one truth every broke tenant fears.
THE MAN WHO MISPLACED TUESDAY: DRAMA IN THE MOTHERLAND is a hilarious, heartfelt blend of magical realism, township drama, and cosmic bureaucracy. It's what happens when Terry Pratchett, African aunties, and a government office printer all decide to share one brain cell.
If you like your fiction weird, warm, and laughing through the struggle, welcome home.
Just... keep an eye on your weekdays.
Note to the Reader:
While this novel is part of THE UNTOLD STORIES OF THE MOTHERLAND SERIES, it is a complete and satisfying story on its own. You can enjoy this book without having read any others.
