25.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48
As a human rights activist, he (Soyinka) has been a courageous voice for justice, freedom, and the end of tyranny (see e.g. Germany etc., and neo-Nazis since 1989 etc. - d.48)...
But the ultimate lesson is just to sit down and write - that's all... (UC Berkeley)
Soyinka wrote a series of radio plays (1961), until the government made its efforts to naught - because he was overly critical...
After (1965) he was wrongly accused of conspiracy and spreading false election results on the radio, - and he was arrested. From an international group of writers, including Norman Mailer and William Styron a protest movement was organized against his detention, and he was released three months later...
During his detention, Soyinka scribbled secretly on discarded cigarette packs, on toilet paper, and between the rows of books - which he had procured secretly...
"It served my health to be able to scribble just a few words from time to time, - and I think that would apply to most writers"... (BBC, Radio 4)
