Publisher's Synopsis

Wole Soyinka won the 1986 Nobel Prize for Literature. This volume contains "Season of Anomy", a fable of Africa which features attempts to promote working-class affinities instead of tribal kinship which inhibits progress; and "Ake", Soyinka's account of his childhood in Nigeria in the 1930s.
