Nobel Prize-winner Wole Soyinka’s debut novel tells the story of a group of friends facing political corruption and cultural uncertainty in post-independence Nigeria.Friends since high school, Egbo, Bandele, Sagoe, Sekoni and Kola have returned to Lagos after studying abroad. As they navigate wild parties, affairs of the heart, philosophical debates, and professional dilemmas, they struggle to reconcile the cultural traditions and Western influences that have shaped them and that still divide their country.In The Interpreters, Soyinka deftly weaves memories of the past through scenes of the present as the friends move toward an uncertain future. The result is a vividly realised fictional world rendered in prose that pivots easily from satire to tragedy. ‘No other writer has Soyinka’s unique positioning in the political and cultural life of his nation.’ Ben Okri ‘Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian icon.’ Guardian ‘Elaborately, strikingly and indeed often beautifully written.’ The Times
