How Wole Soyinka Inherited the Drama of the Gods — and Shadowed the Nigerian Tragedy Since the 1950s, the Nobel laureate has worked in rebellion, carving out a complex, fecund torque of an oeuvre. But as his plays of mythic vigor and Yoruba impulse revitalized Anglophone theatre, raising an art form to ritualistic heights, his force of personality kept him in the political arena, a close witness of an African affliction. Few artists have lived like him. Yet at 91, carrying the mantle of “greatest living writer,” he has one more great battle on his hands — with generations who once deified him. #top" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">opencountrymag.com/wole-soyinka-i…

Of all the profile essays I have read on Soyinka, the insight this one gave me was unparalleled.
