I have not read any of his books (planning on picking up a few over the summer)

But I have met/had dinner with him on a few occasion. He is a very respectable and intelligent man.

I dont want to meet him , because i dont who he is.

1. 2 books
2. Wild Christian
3. His solitary confinement during civil war

ignoramus

na by force to knw person.

she has clearly spoken her mind.

Does that call for insult.

adc online got everything right but for question one.

Its now three. . .


Anyone read the Interpreters?

yes i have read the interpreters,what abt it ?

omogenaija:

I don't want to meet him , because i don't who he is.

hes a great writer.
pick up one of his books and you wud appreciate.

ifyalways:

yes i have read the interpreters

Well thats a surprise. I have tried without sucess to get people to read the book and
after the first few pages they give up complaining its too difficult.

Personally I think its one of the best books I have ever read and his best book although people
rate the sentimentality of Ake over it.

The comedy is what sets it apart. . .especially Sagoe's 'voidant' disposition. The language was difficult in parts
but it had that rarest of qualities:it made you think and when you did there was a delight to be found.

I am also partial to the book because it is centred around the sixties, my favorite period of Nigeria's history.

Anyway. . .how about yourself----------what did you think of the book?

it was difficultfor me to get into the first time but it was worthwhile and challenging.yes, it centered around the colonial times,divides btw history of the sixties,western influences,political chaos,indigineous culture,corruption etc.
thinking of reading it again.Soyinkas books are so phenomenal.

what has any of this got to do with meeting the prof. yes i want to meet him but unless you can actually arrange the meeting you have no bussiness setting up this thread.

now answer those questions and you might be on your way to meeting the Talented Prof.

Doyin13,
seriously, I have not read The interpreter. But I would try and find it. I love challenges. The only problem is getting the time to read it. That would be pretty hard for me.

I am not in Art profession though, just love reading.

wole soyinka is a great man,
but the fact that he is an athiest
weighs me down!!!!

A noble laurete of international repute.He is simply a litrary giant.I admire him and his oratory spirit.
