Speaking about the book, Soyinka said: "(InterInventions), it is the nastiest book I have ever written. It is so truthful that it hurts… it is my vengeance against public lies. It is not one of the butterfly books. No, it is not a butterfly book.

"I want to draw blood (with it). I'm warning all of you, if you feel vengeful, read this book and you will be alright. It is like homeopathic medicine." Prof. Soyinka said

The renowned playwright spoke at the formal inauguration of The Wole Soyinka Foundation, a retreat haven for writers.

The 130 page work – InterInventions - Between Defective Memory and Public Lie, A Personal Odyssey in The Republic of Liars – was presented to the public at the June 12 Cultural Centre Kuto, Abeokuta by the Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole.

On page seven of the book, he decried public lies – "lies of staggering impudence, especially considering the fact that, in most cases, both victims and their traducers are still living".

According to him, there is the need for a "ritual of public purgation where both sides – such victims of lies and the traducers, are brought together before the public tribunal for the world to know the truth".

Soyinka also gave insight into lies, allegedly against him by some individuals and past leaders, including former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, stating in first paragraph of page 82 that "it was a great fun (for him, Soyinka) to watch him (Daniel) lie his head off".
