His books are mostly a difficult read though as i am sure you will agree , Achebe on the other hand is equally as profound but far more accessible. put it this way and no disrespect to soyinka i was juggling between rereading the man died and chimamanda adichie's purple hibiscus. God forgive me but i had to ditch the man died.
@eragoggle... why do you expect him to be what he is not? He is not an English man, and english is his second language..even British prime ministers and pulic speakers use the ehhhhhhhhhh. so what's your problem? you see fault where there is none, because he is African???
onyibiafra calm down, but he can do without the ehh.. i like Mr. Wole Soyinka because i am Nigerian and also he is full of knowledge. my point is dat when he says ehh... it really distracts me from getting what he is saying.

May God indeed forgive you for mentioning Adichie and Soyinka in the same breath. Don't do it again.
