Nobel Prize Winner Wole Soyinka: Reading and Book Signing
Free

Wole Soyinka is a writer of global stature, the first African to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. His new book, You Must Set Forth at Dawn, is an important chronicle of his turbulent life in--and in exile from--his beloved, beleaguered homeland. In the tough, humane, and lyrical language that has typified his plays and novels, Soyinka captures the indomitable spirit of Nigeria itself by bringing to life the friends and family who bolstered and inspired him, by describing the pioneering theater works that defied censure and tradition, and by recounting his exile and the terrible reign of General Sani Abacha.

You Must Set Forth at Dawn will be available for sale and signing, as will a number of other books by Wole Soyinka.
