<\/p>\nAfter decades of jousting with the powers that be and living to tell the tale, Wole Soyinka has returned to his roots: \ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc32-\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc20.\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800

\nAnd though it\u2019s 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!\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800

\nA narrative tour de force, this novel has got everything \u2014 friendship and betrayal; faith and treachery; hope and cynicism; murder, mayhem and no shortage of drama, all set against the backdrop of contemporary Nigeria.\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800

\nAs you would expect from a Soyinka work, it\u2019s got plenty of colourful characters, profound insights, witty commentary, and the most elegant language! In Soyinka\u2019s expert hands, the apparently disparate strands are woven together with a master story-teller\u2019s aplomb.\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800
