FEMI OSOFISAN

Femi Osofisan is a formidable academic and fecund writer. One of Nigeria's many superb writers, for decades he has been a critic of pertinent societal problems. His use of "African traditional performances and surrealism in his works" has also been commended over the years. Many pundits assert that he is somewhat of a didactic writer whose works seek to correct a prurient, sick society. He did post-graduate studies at the University of Ibadan (Nigeria) where he has held pivotal faculty positions for many years.

His published works include: Kolera Kolej, The Chattering and the Song, Morountodun and Other Plays, Minted Coins (poetry), Another Raft, Once upon Four Robbers, Twingle-Twangle A-Twynning Tayle, Yungba-Yungba and the Dance Contest: A Parable for Our Times, The Album of the Midnight Blackout, Tegonni: An African Antigone
