The formal presentation of Wole Soyinka’s latest book, Harmattan Haze on an African Spring, will take place in Lagos, on Tuesday, December 18 at 4pm, at Terra Kulture Plot 1376, Tiamiyu Savage Street, Victoria Island.

The programme takes the form of a conversation with Wole Soyinka on the issues raised in the book. ‘In this magnificent new work, Soyinka seeks to understand how the continent’s history is entwined with that of others, while exploring Africa’s truest assets. Fully grasping the current challenges’ he nevertheless refuses defeatism; with eloquence, he analyses problems ranging from the meaning of the past to the threat of theocracy. Soyinka’s exploration of Africa relocates the continent in the reader’s imagination, and maps a course toward an African future of peace and affirmation’

Wole Soyinka’s interlocutors include Kayode Fayemi, Governor, Ekiti State; Nduka Obaigbena, Publisher, Thisday Newspapers; Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of the Federal Republic; and Tony Elumelu, Chairman, Heirs Foundation
