Artistry and Post Colonial Issues in Wole Soyinka's The Interpreters.

      Аннотация: The text examines how Wole Soyinka uses art in his first novel "The Interpreters" to reflect the post-colonial issues that affect individuals in the newly independent state of Nigeria. "The Interpreters" is examined here as an evaluation of the postcolonial state in Nigeria and as one of the so called novel of post-independent disillusionment. Therefore through artistry, Soyinka tries to unearth and discover the causes of Nigeria's moral death "Death at Dawn" in the postcolonial state. He insinuates that freedom, in its real sense, must be free from corruption and other social injustices and that corruption in Nigeria must be brought to an end.
