Anyone wishing a *short* read that reflects Mr. Soyinka's present frame of mind may wish to pickup his "Climate of Fear." I read it nearly a year ago to the day while a member of the American Library Association's Notable Books jury, and noted: "Soyinka despairs for the world and hopes you do too. In this, the U.S. edition of a 2004 UK printing of the Nigerian playwright/Nobelist's 2004 BBC Reith lectureship, Soyinka stands for an end to all rationalization of indiscriminate murder and degradation by violence, whether executed by the world's singular super power, independent true believers or paragons of a self-declared master race. Soyinka is angry, he is passionate, he is convincingly optimistic despite all that despair, and he is almost certainly right as rain. Soyinka writes of fanaticism and fundamentalism 'Today, there is urgent need for Mother Religion, of whatever inclination, to come to the rescue of humanity with the benevolent act of infantcide.' Over 140 pages, such declarations become nothing less than incantations on behalf of reason." TriCo readers: Canaday Library houses a copy (JC328.6 .S69 2005)
