From Zia With Love. Scourge of Hyacinths

Informationen zum Autor Wole Soyinka is a playwright, novelist, poet, and essayist born in Abeokuta, Nigeria in 1934. Soyinka won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature with his debut novel, The Interpreters , becoming the first-ever African laureate and has since won many other prizes such as the Academy of Achievement Golden Plate Award in 2009 and the Anisfield-Wolf book Award, Lifetime Achievement in 2012. A prominent political activist, Soyinka was imprisoned for nearly two years during the Nigerian Civil War and was later exiled. He continues to fight against government corruption and oppression worldwide. Zusammenfassung Confusion and fear permeate society where the brutality and injustice of military rule is parodied by life inside prison. "From Zia With Love" is based on events in Nigeria in the early 1980s. "A Scourge of Hyacinths", written for radio, presents variations on the same theme.
