This is an important work in literary theory and philosophy of literature. I consider the work a properly constructed path that will lead readers to the literary world of Nkengasong, and Nkengasong to a global world of literary relevance. If you have read Nkengasong before now you will be more comfortable with his works by reading Riot in the Mind: A Critical Study of John Nkemngong Nkengasong. If you have not start with it.
