Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka is the most prominent writer from the African continent and one of the greatest living playwrights in the English language. His plays have been produced by leading professional and repertory companies and stages worldwide, including the National Theatre in Britain and the Lincoln Center in New York.

Soyinka has been a consistent campaigner against civil and human rights violations, using his drama, poetry, and essays to speak out in defense of the freedom of ordinary citizens and the autonomy of African writers and intellectuals.

This collection features interviews with notable figures such as Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Anthony Appiah, and includes the first collection of Soyinka's interviews. It explores his place in the canon of modern African literature and global English-language literature.

Soyinka discusses facets of his writing, addresses pressing issues of culture, society, and community amid globalization, and comments on the rise of nationalist and fundamentalist movements. The volume sheds light on the complexities of his work and the message he aims to convey.
