In the Beginning
I do not know whether it is a wise decision to do this blog. Not when someone has said, of blogging, that, "NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE BEEN TALKING TO SO FEW. "
A Nigerian writer, born four years before Soyinka won the Nobel, wandering aloud through the "labyrinths of 21st century African literary consciousness" (with a lot of self-referencing thrown in).
