About this book

In this essay, Abiola Irele, the doyen of African and Africanist literary scholars, locates the sources of the underlying sensibilities at work in Soyinka's writings in a Yoruba literary tradition whose major precursors, prior to Soyinka, are the late D.O. Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola.
