'Omoseye Bolaji, the internationally revered African writer based in the Free State, is well known for his excellent fiction, essays, drama, poetry and criticism. In this remarkable work, he briefly pays tribute to a fellow writer and friend, Kunle Apantaku.

This is an awe-inspiring essay that straddles the past and current African/Eurocentric writing, plus many key protagonists. This is compulsory reading for every writer, young and old, irrespective of colour, creed or gender.'
