Description

The first novel written in the Yoruba language and one of the first to be written in any African language.


"As Fagunwa himself would have put it, 'onisango di kiriyo, o l'oun o jo bata, ijo o gbo duru, ejika ni kõtu fa ya.' [The Christian convert swore never again to dance to Sango drums; when he heard the church organ, his jacket soon burst at the seams.] The essential Fagunwa, as with all truly valid literature, survives the inhibitions of strange tongues and bashful idioms. But enough. 'Enu ko la nfi pe olowo ilu.' [Good drumming requires no advertisement.] Let the story-teller himself persuade us." - From the Translator's Note, by Wole Soyinka
