Scarlet's Inescapable Grave - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ink-quill Aiyeko-ooto: a child hero or villain? "Enigbewo: Childhood Struggles & Delights" is an intimate account of the early years of Poet, Philosopher & Playwright, Cash Akinyemi Onadele. Told from his own view of the world in those pre-teen years. This is a juicy catalog of influences, tales and childhood behaviors. It is also a captivating report on characters of people in his extended family and their struggles and delights as a middle-class family. Clearly, a throwback to that decade of 1965-1974, living mostly between his village, Odo-alamo, Ijebu-Igbo and the city of Ibadan, in Western, Nigeria. He translates the pre- and post-civil war values of Yoruba traditional village life, and by contrasts depicts modern city living. We find in these pages a middle-child boy's understanding of life. One, who struggled with learning in the sheets of pages but is drawn more to experimenting in nature, morphology and human relations. The outcrop of the strong voices of his storytelling, philosopher grandfather and a hunter, great-uncle is this interesting, entertaining, and spellbinding epic tale of his childhood past!
