NovelsCHRONICLES OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH
After decades of jousting with the powers that be and living to tell the tale, Wole Soyinka has returned to his roots: storytelling. And though it’s been nearly 40 years after his last work of prose fiction, Wole Soyinka proves with this novel that he has lost none of his story-telling chops!
A narrative tour de force, this novel has got everything— friendship and betrayal; faith and treachery; hope and cynicism; murder; mayhem and no shortage of drama, all set against the backdrop of contemporary Nigeria. As you would expect from Soyinka’s work, it’s got plenty of colorful characters, profound insights, witty commentary, and the most elegant language! “Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth” is a great and unputdownable read from start to finish.”

In this seminal work, Soyinka explores the implications of this climate of fear: the conflict between power and freedom, the motives behind unthinkable acts of violence, and the meaning of human dignity. Fascinating and disturbing, Climate of Fear is a brilliant and defining work for our age.
UncategorizedHarmattan Haze On An African Spring (Hard cover)
In this book Harmattan Haze On An African Spring By Wole Soyinka, Soyinka argues that all claims that Africa has been explored are as premature as news of her imminent demise.
A truly illuminating exploration of Africa has yet to take place. It does not pretend to take place even on the pages of this book, being content with retrieving a few grains for germination from the wasteful threshing floor of Africa’s existential totality.
