Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-15 00:00:00 Gerald Pigg [The 'Lion', representing the traditional values and culture, was not as weak and aged as he appeared to be -- I assume that is Soyinka's way of saying that the tradional culture isn't as ready to fade away either. (hide spoiler)]

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-05 00:00:00 William Hickerson Loved it! Even though the plot was on the predictable side, the dialogue, cultural exposition, characters were all gorgeously executed. The humor and the emotional journey were strong enough.
