Fiction
Death and the King's Horseman
A Norton Critical Edition of Wole Soyinka's 1975 play, based on a real 1946 incident in the Yoruba city of Oyo. The edition includes the play, background materials on Yoruba cosmology, and a selection of critical essays. The book is the standard Norton format: readable paper, dense margins, and enough apparatus to slow you down. The cover is the familiar Norton blue-and-white, signaling that this is a text to be taught rather than performed in your living room. Ideal reader: the reader who wants African drama taught as literature rather than anthropology, or the student who needs the context without hunting for it.
