Random Rotimi Babatunde quote

3 quotes

I would love more formal experimentation and more narrative adventurousness, as well as more playfulness and humour, in contemporary writing from Africa.

I consider writing as a continuous discovery of the self and as a dialogue with other works of art. The latter was the reason why Auden described art as ‘breaking bread with the dead’.

I don’t discriminate between dead, old, or young authors, and I don’t care much about nationality; the important thing is for an author’s work to remain urgent and alive.
