Amos Tutuola (1920-1997). Nigeria. His second book, The Palm Wine Drinkard (1952), was saved from obscurity by Dylan Thomas, who wrote a good review of it six weeks after its publication. He described the book as a "brief, thronged, grisly and bewildering story, or series of stories, written in young English, by a West African, about the journey of an expert and devoted palm wine drinkard through a nightmare of indescribable adventures, all simply and carefully described in the spirit-bristling bush." Unsurprisingly, his work has not been greeted entirely favorably by educated Nigerians, who dislike his crude writing style and poor English. Similarly, many feel that the material promotes Western stereotypes of African backwardness. These concerns are not unfounded: Anthony West has called Tutuola's work "a glimpse of the very beginning of literature" and Selden Rodman has described him as "a true primitive." Tutuola himself is undaunted by such criticism, and many of his admirers describe his novels in much more sophisticated terms. Harold Collins, for example, claims that Tutuola is "West Africa's first classic in world literature." Despite the criticism his work has received for its grammatical shortcomings and untraditional plot development, Tutuola is undoubtedly a vibrant and evocative storyteller. (KJ) The Palm Wine Drinkard.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Amos Tutuola (1920-1997) Nigerian writer, who gained world fame with his story THE PALM-WINE DRINKARD. "I was a palm-wine drinkard since I was a boy of ten years of age," Tutuola started the novel. "I had no other work more than to drink palm-wine in my life." The book was based on Yoruba folktales, but in his own country Tutuola was accused of falsifications and uncivilized language. The novel is a transcription in pidgin English prose of an oral tale of his own intervention. It recounted the mythological tale of a drunken man, who follows his dead tapster into "Deads' Town", a world of magic, ghosts, demons, and supernatural beings. According to the Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe, Tutuola's works can also be read as moral tales commenting Western consumerism: "What happens when a man immerses himself in pleasure to the exclusion of all work?" "But of course, there are two kinds of people on earth.

Profile 1 (reproduced with permission) Email: orders@africabookcentre.com Tutuola has published two collections of short stories, a volume of Yoruba folktales, and nine folkloric narratives, of which The Palm-wine Drinkard, a kind of quest tale that incorporates traditional Yoruba folk material, is the best known. In each he has repeated the structure and style of the first, sometimes even reintroducing whole episodes and characters from earlier narratives in later ones. Despite similarities in plot, structure, style, and theme, the later texts do indicate Tutuola's recourse to religion and mythology as new sources (such as John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, The Arabian Nights, and Edith Hamilton's Mythology). Occasional startlingly out-of-place words in them also testify to his use of dictionaries as quarries for new vocabulary.

Profile of Amos Tutuola home author truth unca mike's advice ... contact One of the great fantasists has fallen, and most of us in the field never even knew he existed. But Amos Tutuola, a tribesman of the Yoruba people in Nigeria and author of several books, most notably The Palm-Wine Drinkard My Life in the Bush of Ghosts , and The Brave African Huntress , was one of the best writers of fantasy in world literature. Tutuola's fictions were, in Dylan Thomas's words, "thronged, grisley and bewitching," filled with strange creatures, magic, horror, and humor. He wrote in an oddly-cadenced and strangely-phrased English. For added emphasis he wrote words LARGER, as if he were telling a story aloud and had suddenly raised his voice to startle and alarm his listeners. For good reason: Tutuola was first-generation literate, a man who grew up in an oral culture and then managed to transplant some of its power onto the written page. I do not know if Amos Tutuola was a literary genius or merely a conduit for the storytelling genius of his people. But to read
