They were mostly male writers, with the exception of a few women such as Adaora Lily Ulasi and Flora Nwapa. (Fun fact: Nwapa set up her own publishing house to ...

   Aug 4, 2017 · Soyinka and Achebe write what may be called ‘serious literature’ and both men were usually the first exposure most post-independent pupils and students had to such literature. Fluffy, novelettish literature like Hadley Chase, Jeffery Archer and Harold Robbins were only holiday and weekend reading or merely time-filling divertissements.

   What is Soyinka's view on contemporary Nigerian society?

   Did Soyinka get a Nobel Prize?

   • But Soyinka has always lived on the political brink. His 1986 Nobel Prize, his sheer stature, may or may not have afforded him some protection. Others have not been lucky: Chronicles is dedicated to two Nigerian political activists, the journalist Dele Giwa and lawyer and politician Bola Ige, "both cut down by assassins".

   Why did Soyinka leave Nigeria?

   • It is quite another thing to devote a lifetime to needling Nigerian regimes and other elite cliques, as Soyinka has done: during the Nigerian civil war he spent 22 months in prison, and in 1994 he fled the country after enraging Sani Abacha, a military dictator who pronounced a death sentence on him in absentia.

   Why does Soyinka say 'happy'?

   • Soyinka's use of the word "happy" is heavily ironic; his Nigeria is dominated by corruption, sleaze, self-interest, and brutality upon brutality. "Happiness" is just a government PR slogan used to cover up numerous ugly realities. (One is reminded of the empty happiness in another satire, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.)

   Achebe or Soyinka? A Study in Contrasts Kole Omotoso. London: Hans Zell, 1996. xxi + 188 PP. Chris Dunton It is not a weakness of Omotoso's approach, but this is a book that defies one's readiest expectations. The contrastive approach-Achebe or Soyinka-is, after all, firmly established, not least at the level of staff club and student bar chat.
