Oh my, you don't know how much I relate to this, especially the part about Wole Soyinka. I always kept quiet when his name was mentioned because I didn't want anyone finding out that I didn't like his books. Like I didn't get the big deal in his writings.

Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Adichie are in a whole world completely. I'm genuinely stunned that none of them have received a Nobel Laureate. I really hope Chimamanda does, at least. The way the book and movie award industry is politicised these days is disheartening.
