Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole
Soyinka, has denied there was a real conflict between himself and J.P. Clark,
Christopher Okigbo and Chinua Achebe, fueled by the desire to dominate the rest
in the writing art.
He
also gave a rare portrayal of his late friend and respected novelist, Chinua
Achebe, disputing an often referencing of Mr. Achebe as the’ Father of African
literature.’
Prof. Soyinka also picked holes in Mr. Achebe’s last work, There Was a
Country, which turned out the author’s most controversial.
