JOHN MUNONYE


John Munonye (died 1999) was a rather underrated, but undeniably great early African writer. His many novels were written with authority and intelligence.
Munonye’s works include The Only Son, Obi, Ibadan: Heinemann, 1969, Oil Man of Obange: Heinemann, 1971, A Wreath for the Maidens: Heinemann, 1973, A Dancer of Fortune: Heinemann, 1974, and Bridge to a Wedding:
