PRAISE FOR WOLE SOYINKA WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE "Soyinka is unquestionably Africa's most versatile writer and arguably her finest." --The New York Times Book Review "Wole Soyinka is one of the best there is today." --Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie "Soyinka is a brilliant imagist who uses poetry and drama to convey his inquisitiveness, frustration, and sense of wonder." --Newsweek "Wole Soyinka belongs in the company of V. S. Naipaul, V. S. Pritchett, and Vladimir Nabokov." --The New York Times "You don't see things the same way when you encounter a voice like that of Wole Soyinka." --Toni Morrison, A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR "Though his work has spanned multiple genres--poetry, plays, memoirs and essays--[Soyinka's] new novel manages to chart fresh territory. . . . Chronicles combines elements of a murder mystery, a searing political satire and an Alice in Wonderland -like modern allegory of power and deceit." -- Los Angeles Times "It is Soyinka's greatest novel, his revenge against the insanities of the nation's ruling class and one of the most shocking chronicles of an African nation in the 21st century. It ought to be widely read." --Ben Okri, The Guardian "A biting satire that looks at corruption in an imaginary contemporary Nigeria, Chronicles is also an intriguing and droll whodunit. . . . A brilliant story that takes on politics, class, corruption, and religion from the very first chapters. It highlights Soyinka's lush, elegant language." -- Publishers Weekly, A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR AND ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S MUST READ BOOKS OF 2021 "Though his work has spanned multiple genres--poetry, plays, memoirs and essays--[Soyinka's] new novel manages to chart fresh territory. . . . Chronicles combines elements of a murder mystery, a searing political satire and an Alice in Wonderland -like modern allegory of power and deceit." -- Los Angeles Times "It is Soyinka's greatest novel, his revenge against the insanities of the nation's ruling class and one of the most shocking chronicles of an African nation in the 21st century.

Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR - The first Black winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature gives us a tour de force, combining "elements of a murder mystery, a searing political satire and an Alice in Wonderland-like modern allegory of power and deceit" ( Los Angeles Times ). In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is deter­mined that he not make it there. And neither Dr. Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful. Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing indictment of political and social corrup­tion. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists, who also happens to be a global literary giant., A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR * The first Black winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature gives us a tour de force, combining "elements of a murder mystery, a searing political satire and an Alice in Wonderland-like modern allegory of power and deceit" ( Los Angeles Times ).
