About the Book

Jimi Solanke is one of the most talented actors that this country has produced of his generation. His intellect, natural aptitude for performance, and empathetic understanding of human emotions have allowed him to connect profoundly with audiences worldwide.

This book is not just an account of Jim`s life. It mirrors in parallel, a reflection of another story. It tells of a different generation of professionals and pioneers and a time in Nigeria's cultural and social history and post-colonial developments in contemporary theatre and the arts. In many ways, Jimi Solanke's story is a metaphor for so many like him; the pioneers and trailblazers; men and women of the arts who have devoted their working lives to the creative industry. Many have given their hearts, souls, and most fruitful years, often with little financial rewards. Like Jimi, they continue doing what they love best, art for the sake of art. This book is a tribute to them too.
