Oxford. 1994. Heinemann. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0435911511. 166 pages. paperback. keywords: Literature Africa Literary Criticism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-To mark the 60th birthday of Wole Soyinka, this collection of essays pays tribute to his many achievements. The essays are prefaced by Soyinka's own Nobel speech of 1986, which voiced his overriding concern for justice and freedom-a driving force in his life as well as his literature. The concluding contribution, an interview he gave to 'Biyi Bandele-Thomas some seven years on, bears witness to that unflagging concern. Other contributors include both fellow writers and distinguished academics. Some, like Nadine Gordimer, have chosen to record their personal and professional regard for Soyinka, while others, such as Wilson Harris and Abdulrazak Gurnah, adopt a more critical-though constructive and no less appreciative-stance towards play, poetry or novel. Femi Osofisan, fellow Nigerian playwright, combines the two approaches in a personal memoir of the man and his life, an interpretation of his work and a heartfelt acknowledgement of Soyinka's vital and continuing influence. inventory #46063.
