CHARLES R. LARSON The Ordeal of the African Writer
London, Zed Books. 2001, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 1856499316) Paperback, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Only a small number of African writers - Chinua Achebe, Ben Okri, Nuruddin Farah, Wole Soyinka - have become known outside their own continent. They also face enormous obstacles within Africa to get their work published, let alone to support themselves financially from their writing. Charles Larson combines writers' own testimony, pen portraits of their lives, and factual investigation to explore the dimensions of the problem. Who is the readership in Africa? How do African publishing houses treat their authors? What are the consequences of political repression? And can anything be done to build a more supportive environment for African writers?. New.
Offered for GBP 4.50 = appr. US$ 8.96 by: Allen Williams Books - Book number: 141281
