Remarkably, after Ake, penkelemesi, set forth at dawn; the biographical works, ( I am leaving out “the man died” ) I had read all these with out much trouble laying my hands on y library copies; it was a huge embarrassment that it took me five years to source a copy of isara “journey around essay”. Eventually I got one through an ‘order’ process from a bookshop in charing cross London along with a copy of fugitive offender by Tony Enahoro.

First time I am coming across *YOU*. So very good. *Wole Soyinka*.
The first work i read from Soyinka was The Lion and the jewel. It was interesting and i look forward to read some of his other works too.
