This article submits that self-reclamation in Zoë Wicomb's short-story cycle, “You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town” and Other Stories, is revealed through storytelling. “Ritual enactment”, the phrase that bell hooks uses to depict the kind of narrative that calls to mind the mediation of the images of black depersonalisation especially as it pertains to the corporal body, is used in this discussion to explore memory as a site of resistance. The argument is that narration in these stories invents a self that authenticates blackness via discursive and self-dialogised practices, and that these are evident also in a spectrum of voices in black social contexts. Throughout this discussion, memory is shown to be also acknowledging and navigating complicity in that which is being critiqued
