“No Danger No Delay”: Wole Soyinka and the Perils of Driving
View through CrossRef
Chapter 2 focuses on the tragedy of motorcar accidents through a close reading of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka’s 1965 post-independence play The Road about Nigerian lorry drivers living on the urban periphery. This chapter reads the road as a Bakhtinian chronotope – a space-time matrix – that includes various lived times of postcoloniality.
