The Novels of Wilton Sankawulo

More about the book

Focusing on the challenges and opportunities for Liberian writers, Dr. Robert H. Brown explores the limited creative fiction output in Liberia. He critically examines three novels by Wilton Sankawulo—The Rain and the Night, Sundown at Dawn: A Liberian Odyssey, and Birds Are Singing—highlighting their shared themes and the indigenous Liberian thought that influences them. Despite some grammatical flaws, these works are positioned as significant contributions to African literature, reflecting a pivotal moment in Liberia's history.
