Soyinka's Utterance Against Me Is "Aggravated Libel" – Maja-Pearce 

The problem came when he published You Must Set Forth At Dawn. I was asked by the London Review of Books to review it. I didn't like the book so I gave my reasons. So, when it came out people told me that Soyinka didn't take it kindly with criticism. I was just working for a magazine anyway... I was surprised when I read what Soyinka said about me. He called me "unscrupulous and unprincipled"... I would have gone to court but decided not to...  Maybe, because the white-man gave him the Nobel Prize, maybe he thinks he is a god. It is God that cannot be criticised. I wasn't criticising him as a human; I was criticising the book I was given to review.
