A Season of Anomy - The landscape of A Season of Anomy is harsh and unsparing. A forgotten commune, Aiyero, is pitted against the frenzy of exploiters and the stranglehold of corrupt power. This effort to permeate the larger society with life-affirming values from Aiyero becomes an excuse for threatened interests to unleash a wave of terror. Ake - 'An exhilaratingly glad contribution to the literature of childhood...a marvelously rich and amusing book, with not a dull paragraph, let alone a dull page' New Statesman. 'A superb act of remembrance...dazzling reading...Ake has an enchanting effect...Soyinka's memoir makes everything seem wondrous' Village Voice. 'A classic' New York Times Book Review.
