Cover of paperback book, the image is Blind Leading the Blind by Chris Ofili, two figures tied together, facing away from each other, partially entangled in a tree. Quotes from famous authors.
Biyi Bándélé's Yorùbá Boy Running (2023, published posthumously) is an incredibly resourceful novel on the life of Samuel Àjàyí Crowther, linguist and abolitionist, by an original stylist. Technically it's a historical novel but also: news. Intro by #WoleSoyinka. #BiyiBándélé #Nigeria #BookSky

Who would have thought that Trump would ban an articulate, cultured Nobel prize winner who tells it how it is? I'd wear this as a badge of honour if I were #WoleSoyinka ✊️

“He jokingly referred to his rejection as a ‘love letter‘ and said that while he did not blame the officials, he would not be applying for another visa.
“‘I have no visa. I am banned, obviously, from the United States, and if you want to see me, you know where to find me.’”

“Soyinka believes it may be because he recently referred to Trump as a ‘white version of Idi Amin,’ a reference to the dictator who ruled Uganda from 1971 until 1979.”

A screencap of a tweet by Margaret Atwood, major Canadian author. She is addressing the Alberta government's regressive book ban. The tweet reads: Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.
"Books & all forms of writing are a terror to those who wish to suppress the truth." -Wole Soyinka
Literature is powerful. Stories show us how to build better worlds. Book bans, though, are about stripping away all but blind obedience. #wolesoyinka #margaretatwood #canpoli #cndpoli #ableg #abpoli
