“God created woman from a crooked rib. Anyone who tries to straighten it breaketh it” ( A Somali proverb in Nurddin Farah’s From a Crooked Rib).
“Weep not child, weep not my darling.
With these kisses let me remove your tears.
The ravening clouds shall pass away.
They shall not long posses the sky”( Walt Whitman)
“Gyre upon gyre turning.
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.
And mere anarchy is let loose upon the world”(W B Yeats)
Waandishi wa AWS walikuwa pia wasomaji mahiri wa vitabu.
Ongezea pia ‘Summons’ ya mpendwa wetu aliyetangulia mbele ya haki, Prof Jan Mwaikusa(ed) et al.

Wole Soyinka's most famous works that can be compared to Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart include:
●The Interpreters: Soyinka's first novel, which along with Achebe's Things Fall Apart are considered two of the most important works of African literature from the 1950s-1960s period.
●The Lion and the Jewel: One of Soyinka's most popular plays, written in a style that combines elements of Elizabethan drama with African oral tradition, similar to how Achebe blended Igbo folklore into the narrative of Things Fall Apart.
●Kongi's Harvest: Another well-known play by Soyinka that explores themes of African culture and tradition, like Achebe's novels.
While Soyinka is considered a master of poetic, complex prose and drama, Achebe's style in Things Fall Apart is more straightforward narrative realism.
But both authors were pioneers in establishing African literature on the global stage and asserting the dignity of African societies.
Their works from this era are considered seminal in the development of modern African literature.Wole Soyinka's most famous works that can be compared to Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart include:
