Immaginate un villaggio ai confini del mondo, Dukana: una chiesa, i vecchi che snocciolano storie, le donne che fanno i lavori pesanti. A Dukana vive Mene, aspirante autista di pulmini, con la madre. A Dukana nessuno sa niente: tutti sentono alla radio di un governo che è cambiato e di cui conoscono solo funzionari e poliziotti corrotti, che si pappano mazzette per ogni cosa. Tutto scorre lento e lieto. Mene conosce Agnes, con più tette che anima, e la vuole sposare, e tutto sembra andar bene finché non si comincia a parlare di nemico, di casini nella nazione, finché non arrivano sozasoldati a requisire cibo e reclutare gente. Per un giovane fare la guerra è una gran cosa, bisogna cacciare il nemico perché nel Paese manca il sale, e lui deve proteggere la moglie. E così Mene diventa Sozaboy, veste l'uniforme, prende ordini senza capire perché fa quello che fa, e va al fronte. Ma la guerra è un brutto affare, ci sono sozacapitani che ti fanno bere la piscia, aerei che cagano bombe che uccidono. E così Mene scappa, conosce la prigionia, passa nelle file del nemico, lascia tutto per cercare la mamma e la sposa, per tornare a Dukana, perché ha capito che la guerra è una cosa senza senso... Questo è un assaggio del mondo che Saro-Wiwa tratteggia in questo romanzo del 1985, ispirato alla guerra del Biafra che devastò la Nigeria dal 1967 al 1970.

Sozaboy powerfully describes the fate of a young, naive soldier thrown into the frontline of a civil war, from his first proud days of recruitment to the disillusionment and horrors that follow. Mene yearns for manhood. He dreams of gaining the glory that the ex-soldier in his village brags about, with his stories of hunting 'Hitla'. So when war breaks out and soldiers appear in Mene's isolated village, he sees his chance to finally wear a uniform. Too soon, however, Mene's innocence turns to terror. While witnessing the unfathomable, Mene must learn to evade the carnage of warfare if he wants to make it home alive... Writing in Nigerian Pidgin English, Ken Saro-Wiwa creates a unique window into the dark consequences of meaningless war. 'Haunting.' Guardian 'Sozaboy is not simply a great African novel, it is also a great anti-war novel, among the very best the twentieth century has produced.' William Boyd

"The authors examine Saro-Wiwa's literary output both in terms of literary criticism and within a political framework. They give equal attention to his more public roles, including public reaction within Nigeria to his work."--BOOK JACKET.

This Third Edition of Approaches to the African Novel is a child of necessity. Because of the unfortunate death of the publisher of Saros International who issued the First Edition and high demand this third, enlarged edition has become imperative. Three new essays (all previously published) are added, two expectedly on Achebe (the father of the African novel) and one on Mongp Betiís Mission to Kala which was partially anthologised in Contemporary Literary Criticism (Volume 27, 1984). Achebeís Things Fall Apart as an Igbo national epic has evoked a spate of reactions from critics of African literature especially the troika Chinweizu et al. in Toward the Decolonization of African Literature. It was also anthologised in Modern Black Literature edited by S. Okechukwu Menu (1971). The essay on Arrow of God whose structure and meaning has been largely avoided by other critics is included here for further airing. For gender balance, as the previous volume contained no essays on women writers, an essay on Flora Nwapa has been added. Since the novels discussed in this volume exclusively are on the African literature south of the Sahara, the last essay on Peter Abrahams comes in to round out this collection of essays with a study of a south African writer, for geographical balance.

Greed, frustrated love, traffic jams, infertility, politics, polygamy. These--together with depictions of traditional village life and the impact of colonialism made familiar to Western readers through Chinua Achebe's writing--are the stuff of Nigerian fiction. Bearing Witness examines this varied content and the determined people who, against all odds, write, publish, sell, and read novels in Africa's most populous nation. Drawing on interviews with Nigeria's writers, publishers, booksellers, and readers, surveys, and a careful reading of close to 500 Nigerian novels--from lightweight romances to literary masterpieces--Wendy Griswold explores how global cultural flows and local conflicts meet in the production and reception of fiction. She argues that Nigerian readers and writers form a reading class that unabashedly believes in progress, rationality, and the slow-but-inevitable rise of a reading culture. But they do so within a society that does not support their assumptions and does not trust literature, making them modernists in a country that is simultaneously premodern and postmodern. Without privacy, reliable electricity, political freedom, or even social toleration of bookworms, these Nigerians write and read political satires, formula romances, war stories, complex gender fiction, blood-and-sex crime capers, nostalgic portraits of village life, and profound explorations of how decent people get by amid urban chaos. Bearing Witness is an inventive and moving work of cultural sociology that may be the most comprehensive sociological analysis of a literary system ever written.
