4.Akè

Like all autobiographies, Aké records interesting anecdotes, childhood adventures, and fond memories of friends and numerous relatives. However, what stands out in the narrative is the child’s perspective of the illogicality of the adult world.Wole Soyinka was a bright, curious child and his account of his early childhood in the town of Abeokuta in Western Nigeria is enchanting. He writes with his adult voice, but maintains the child's perspective and understanding throughout, the one exception a nostalgic contrasting of street-fronts then and now. Events are not always joyful — most obviously the harsh treatment of a mentally ill woman and the death of a sibling — but Aké is ebullient, full of the excitement of new discoveries and opportunities, a celebration of the wonders of childhood.

Seen.

I neva read anyone o

I've read everyone of them, I didn't borrow them to read, I bought them, hard copy.

OP, since you included Things Fall Apart, you should have also included The Gods Are Not To Blame by Ola Rotimi. Its still internationally acclaim just like Things Fall Apart, and its even been adapted into tv series, just like Things Fall Apart.

But its almost a shame African literature is almost loosing its potency.
