K. Sello Duiker’s novel Thirteen Cents focalizes water in profound ways from the spatial vantage point of the Cape Peninsula, a location that has been the setting of various decisive episodes in what Isabel Hofmeyr describes as “hydrocolonialism.” Figuring water’s anomalous properties and the procedures of containerization that have advanced the capitalist world-system consuming the South, the novel offers the material metaphor of inundation with which to think through the persistently racialised structures of global capitalism as they combine with the emergent planetary crisis. Restoring materiality to this metaphor, the novel advances apprehension of the precarity imposed upon the South as the consumption of its goods returns in amplified harms. It is instructive also on how reading itself might be performed as an immersive and diffractive methodology toward a realization of the “planetary humanism” that Paul Gilroy sees emerging from “sea-level theory.”
