Came across a good interview of Wole Soyinka in The Hindu. The Nigerian Nobel laureate makes a couple of thought-provoking points. One: Real writers write, no matter the circumstances they are in or their state of mind at any given point of time. And two, intellectual analysis of a writer’s isolation or persecution often becomes an exercise in fantasizing reality.He also makes an interesting, if debatable, point on responding to violence with violence.

Hi Bhaswati,What an informative post! I did not even know about him( Only Nigerian writer I read is Chinua Achebe- Things Fall Apart) and after reading your post and his interview in the Hindu I feel a lot more informed.He has Desmond Tutu nearby to understand violence and non-violence more deeply. I would surf the net to know more about him.Thank you so much!Cheers!
Great interview. Sounds like an interesting guy.
